Every once in awhile words speak to our hearts.
They move us not because of what they say.
But because they say what we know.

No one who has never walked this path
will ever understand.
They can not and I would not want them to.

We are only give this one moment in time
and what we chose to do with it
is the measure of who we are.

Its OK to be tired this is a monumental struggle.
To have walked through this test of fire
and emerged on the other side.
Is a mark of honor.

This mark of honor is there for all to see.
But few will recognize it,
only those who have earned it,
will know it.
