Love
Love is one of the most precious and invaluable things in the world. Above all, love is one of the things that helped me through the most. I have been so blessed to have received the immeasurable love and care selflessly given to me by friends, family, and others in my life who have been with me through my struggles with mental health. I can never thank them enough for standing by my side, and loving me at a time when I couldn’t even love myself.
I want to take this opportunity to dedicate this page to everyone who has touched my life and made its more than worth living for…you know who you are! THANK YOU xxx

Thank You
I went through hell and back - yet you were still beside me…holding my hand all the way
Even when I had given up - you kept going and reassured me everything would be okay
You took the journey with me and refused to take the easy path like many would have done
You promised to stay by my side and fight with me, until the battle ahead had been won
You stood by me and never let go- even when I became a person you barely recognised or knew
somehow you kept loving me, reminding me that deep down I was still me - and that we would make it through
You never left my side - although I became so difficult to be with and I kept pushing you away
you reassured me that you would never leave my side and you still came to see me every day
You brightened up my depressing life and somehow managed to make me laugh and even forget for a while…
How hard life had become and reminded me what it felt like to feel a little happiness again and smile…
So thank you so much for every that you have done for me and everything that you still continue to do…
I have so much to be grateful for, that I could never say this enough…

Family
Sometimes we may not get on with the family we have got
But they will still always be a part of us, no matter what
Sometimes it’s so hard to get along and to see eye to eye
And often we may find ourselves asking ‘oh but why?’
Other families seem so happy and we envy what we see
But not everything is as ‘perfect’ as it may seem to be
Every family has troubles, whether they be big or small
It’s so hard to be content, we are all always wanting more
Struggling to get our loved ones to understand how we feel
And to accept us for who we are, so be can just be real…
Not having to pretend to be something that we are simply not
We want them to accept and love us unconditionally no matter what
But at the end of the day, even though we may not all get along
At least we have a place to call home – a family where we belong
Not everyone has someone – there are many who are all alone
Who wish that they too could have a family to call their very own
So though our family may not be perfect or be what we would wish for
Lets be thankful for the blessing we have and not always ask for more
We are luckier than we think and there may be people who even envy you
They may dream to have your life and to have all the things you do
So love them or hate them, family help shape us who we are today
And each family is precious and unique in its on special way
But they will still always be a part of us, no matter what

Sisters
Sisters can be like your very best friends,
Tied by blood, they are the angels God sends
They can understand us like no one else could
They will do things for us that no one else would
They see you at your worst and still think you’re the best
When it comes to it, with sisters there is no contest
We accept one another for exactly who we each are
We look out for one another and help each other go far
And we all are unique and individual in our very own way
Sisters are simply the best… what more is there to say?

Friendship
I’m so incredibly blessed to have a friend like you
You’re always by my side no matter what I go through
In all the good times and the bad, there’s nothing we don’t share
No matter what life throws at me…I know you’ll always be there
It feels like I’ve known you forever, and the years have flown by so fast
I’m so glad that I can share with you my present, my future and my past
We’ve grown up together…shared all our hopes, ambitions and dreams…
But life’s not worked out quite how we thought – nothing ever is as it seems
Real life is tough, it’s not a fairy tale with a lovely happy ending
But I’m glad I can share my failings and not have to keep pretending…
Because no one can be strong all the time, sometimes it’s okay to cry
You always comfort me, hold my hand and never question why
Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on…and for making me smile again
Thank you for being my glimmer of sunshine, when all I could see was rain
God blessed me when he gave me you, you’re the best gift he could ever send
You’ve made my life so much better… simply by being my friend

You orchestrated exactly when and where I should live & the person I would be
You gave me my own unique life, my own story, my own family, friends, and ME
You care for me, in every way, nothing can happen to me without your knowing
You look after me, protect me and help me to keep, learning and growing
Every hair head is counted, every tear is recorded, I matter so much to you
You are behind me… in front of me… and beside me in everything I do
You have a purpose for me, you knew your will for me, before the world began
no matter what may happen, nothing can ruin the future you have in your plan
Help me to live the life you want me to and be the person you made me to be
Please help me to live my life, enjoy my life and to love my life and ME

Living For Today
At any moment our lives and our loved ones could be taken away
So lets treasure each moment we have and seize life each and every day
And really appreciate being blessed with people who care and love you
Because it’s a beautiful thing and they don’t have to but they choose to
There is no wisdom in fearing the future, when cannot guarantee tomorrow
So lets live each moment in joy, instead of wasting precious time in sorrow
Like a whisper in the wind, we should seek to hear God’s often quiet voice
And not to listen to the storms of doubt and fear, for we have a choice
We can choose to trust in God in everything, for perfect love drives out fear
For when we feel afraid, scared or alone, it is not God’s voice that we hear
In God there is no condemnation, but unending compassion and grace
And so in faith and perseverance we live our lives and run the race
In trust we walk with him and he will be with us all the way
We need to look to the future, but not forget to live for today
So lets treasure each moment we have and seize life each and every day
And really appreciate being blessed with people who care and love you
Because it’s a beautiful thing and they don’t have to but they choose to
There is no wisdom in fearing the future, when cannot guarantee tomorrow
So lets live each moment in joy, instead of wasting precious time in sorrow
Like a whisper in the wind, we should seek to hear God’s often quiet voice
And not to listen to the storms of doubt and fear, for we have a choice
We can choose to trust in God in everything, for perfect love drives out fear
For when we feel afraid, scared or alone, it is not God’s voice that we hear
In God there is no condemnation, but unending compassion and grace
And so in faith and perseverance we live our lives and run the race
In trust we walk with him and he will be with us all the way
We need to look to the future, but not forget to live for today
