“Strong” doesn’t always mean
Holding weights at the gym.
It means holding them
In your heart
At the grocery store
When you have to decide.
“Worth it” doesn’t always mean
Paying full price with card.
It means paying early
Each morning
In the dark
When you’d rather do anything else.
After much practice,
You build strength to see
What is worth it,
And you see worth
In the strength you’ve built.
But if recent musicals
Have taught you anything,
You know stamina
Wanes,
And you can’t walk along for long.
That’s why we are here.
We see you.
You are strong,
And we know
You are worth it.
