YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE

For years, you've grown up before my eyes
More beautiful every day, so close in family ties.

Smart, and knowing right from wrong
Sometimes your life reminds me of a song.

Things are tough right now, I know
I've been there, I try not to let it show.

For everything you've been through
You are stronger than I could do.

Facing your pain and your fears
You've fought back through the tears.

Ambitious as ever, curious for days
You know what you want, for you, no phases.

Different from the others, yes
But that's part of everyone else to test.

Don't listen to the lies and the hurtful things
Stand tall through Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.

Lies are only truth if you let them
Get rid of the negative, a trim.

To know you, you know who you are
And believe me, that will always take you far.
