my life changes this day, absolute and forever
i stop for a moment and watch things disolve
i look to the ground and brace my resolve
i return to my trek, head light as a feather

i face this new future, determined to thrive
no matter the challenge, i face down the fears
in spite of great pain, ill choke back my tears
friendship and love, for what i do strive

i pad proudly forward into this light
my little black paws cover my sighs
the steely resolve so deep in my eyes
now i continue this walk deep into the night
