For every tear I shed, you multiplied that times ten with hearty laughter
You were my light at the end of a dark tunnel
You were the hope of a better tomorrow
In hard times, you let me hold on to you and kept me going
A promise of unconditional love, unswerving trust and everlasting friendship
Like a beacon, guiding a stranded sailor to safety
For every fall, you lifted me up and helped me stay headstrong
You forgave me and helped me move on
I see you, reflected in the mirror
For you are me,the one who got me through the storms of life
A change of thought, thats all it took to metamorphosize myself into a beautiful swan
My face is covered with a radiant smile as I discover the world in a new light
For I know I have me by my side, and I alone hold the power to my happiness.

Bravo. Self discovery is really important to realize it is your inner strength that will help you to live a happy life rather than depending on others opinions about you.

It takes whole lifetime for almost all people, to realise this basic thing.
