She was always strong,
Never giving into doubt.
Even when her mom was on her death bed,
About to give in to cancer,
She stayed strong.

She was always brave,
Never allowing despair to take over.
Even when her dad had knee surgery and lost his job,
Right after her mom got over cancer,
She stayed brave.

She was always faith-filled,
Never letting anything come between her and God.
Even when school got hard, people got harder, and life seemed impossible,
Prayer and God were first, and reminding me this, was second.
She stayed faithful.

She is a true friend,
Never failing to tell me the truth, no matter how much I don't want to hear it.
Even when we don't see each other for eight years, and times get tough,
She's always just a phone call away.
She is an inspiration.
