I’ve traveled this road many times before

The loneliness 

The peace

The acceptance of just being 

I know that I can succeed at life’s turns

With every bump in the road 

Take every obstacle 

And conquer every stop

I know who I am and what I deserve 

I know that I am continually 

Traveling solo 

Even though I am not alone

You are always there 

With guidance 

Fierce protection 

My biggest fan 

Through your silence I found assurance 

You’ve given me the tools

To know how to survive 

In the shadows and the sun

You are my favorite adventure 

Our road together 

Taught me everything 

Now I stand confident 

I need you to recognize

That you have given me more 

Than you’ll ever know 

Thank you for always being there
