You Matter
You matter
To the hundredth degree
You matter to you
And also to me
Your life in itself
Is an unrealized dream
You give life and love
To people not yet seen
You matter I tell you
Every breath that you take
Is encouragement to another
And the decisions they will make
You matter because simply
I have been there too
Lost, lonely, abandoned
Sometimes battered and bruised
You matter to me because
You will give someone else hope
Sometimes that’s all it takes
To remove a neck from the rope
You matter because today
Someone will here your tale
About how you didn’t give up
How you refused to fail
You matter always because
You survived sometimes brutal pain
If just to walk away and share how
One life is able to sustain
You matter to me my friend
I want to share you with the masses
Encouraging them to step up
Remove the rose colored glasses
Yes, you knew torment
I have felt the same
You are not a statistic
Tell the world your name
Walk ahead and prosper
You were meant for a brighter place
Show them your strength
It’s written all over your face
You matter my love
Because you survived and are here
Furthering my plea
Our Creator is always near
You matter my friend
And I’m so glad that you did
You walked to the head of the class
When others might have hid
You matter like family
I’m so glad that you escaped
And by doing so you helped
Others learn their way
You matter to the world
Because you would not hide away
You did nothing wrong
We’re so glad that you stayed
You matter to us all
So I hand the baton to you
So you can tell another
How much they matter too
i like the part where you talk about their story mattering and how it will touch someone…very true…each of our stories were given to us to use…smiles.
