I hope you find your way:

As you wonder through your teenage years
I am reminded by the confusion of my own
As you search for whom you are meant to be
I remember the time I finally found myself
As you navigate the paths of the social maze
I contemplate my own difficulties
As you encounter this thing called love
I think of how I still struggle to understand
As you search to find your place in this world
I am reminded of how I am still looking
As you look for people to point you to the right path
I too am looking for those people
As you acquire wisdom to help guide yourself
I never stop seeking that which can better my life
As you send your prayers out hoping they will be heard
I still send mine somewhere, wanting the answers
As you grow tired of life and living has lost its allure
I tell you to keep moving for it will get better
As you cuddle a new living person, you are hoping you won’t make mistakes
I see the mistakes I made and the many more yet to come
As your life endures pain from every side
I challenge you to embrace them and let them teach you
As you look for happiness in every person or place
I tell you, you will only find it within yourself
As your paths grow dark and you’re not sure where to go
I will remind you to just keep moving and never stop believing in yourself
