Even Though

Even when we fall,

Even when we fail,

Even when our bikes careen off of the trail.

?

Even when they laugh,

Even when they doubt,

Even when they don't understand what we're talking about.

?

Even when I pause,

Even when I cry,

Even when, even I, don't get the reason why.

?

Even though some question,

Even though some turn away,?

Even though some who said they loved me, don't always stay.

?

Even though some work harder,

Even though I work too much,

Even though I try to soften blows with a gentle touch.

?

Even though I read the books

Even though I got the degree

Even though some days I wonder, 'Who is the real me?'

?

Stand up tall, head held high

We don't always have to know, or have, a reason why

But each risk, hurt or episode

Opens up possibilities for the higher road.

?

To learn, to lean, to simply reflect,?

To accept, compromise or flatly reject

To be the person who knows how to grow?

And live their life well, even though.

Wishing you a wonderful week, even though, Steph ??
