Just to think about how far I've come

Makes  me come to wonder

That without the given guidance and love

Would I have come to know her

 

The person I am today

The one who travels through life

The one who rarely goes through dismay

Or goes through inner strife

 

All my life I've always wanted

To be the best and known

To think that of how it all started

With determination in each and every bone

 

Challenges I faced to be where I stand

I hope I never fall

Lucky to have supporters who lended a hand

A genius and a light is what they saw

 

Now I stand with inner belief and love

Knowing what I can do

Reaching for the stars above

A new future comes into view

 

Grasping the hope in hand

I hope I never falter

I made a promise to travel the land

My dreams remain unaltered

 

Curiosity and determination surround me now

As I make my mark onto the world

To enemies- I will not bow

For I will keep a promise to that little girl
