Strength Empowers

Strength Empowers

The difference between being good and being great
Is this much…. How much?.... This much… And growing
Like great music crashing on rocks by the sea storm
Harmony builds to a crescendo on soft notes 
Melodic waves of heat and energy powered by the sun
Allow tall trees to hide, to fall on their own shade 
Music pulls all this together 
Strength grows from the ground up
As love and trust empowers us
Fed by life’s intentions
Only you define that path alone while sailing on
Quiet chords play on the wind
In your loved ones arms  
Our strength in love begins, plays in that symphony
