Yearning for the Best

Growing up I had low confidence in myself
But after my teen years my mother kept reminding me that I have conquered so much
While some people find their power and love in money, I learned that I wasn’t satisfied with wealth
Compared to giving love to others, and living without a constant rush

Why does this make me strong?
It makes me strong because I have learned how great my worth is over time
After being pushed over, rejected, and led along
I have learned to forego the pain, leaving it behind

My mother had six children
Which makes me one of many
I can’t imagine life without them
They make my life so full and plenty

I truthfully gain so much strength from my siblings
We are all so very different
We aim to uplift each other even when we are chatting about nothing
What matters at the end of the day is that we love each other and ensure we are content

As I have one older brother, three young brothers, and one sister
These precious people give me strength I never could have imagined
We never leave each other bitter
But only better with full hearts and full grins

Overall, what makes me strong?
My momma and my siblings do
The older I get, the better we all get along
I’ve gained so much in life by focusing on my family; I believe that you should too
