Built To Last.

Today I was told how great I look,
That these days I carry a glow,
The work it took to get here,
I guess is beginning to show!
People are approaching me,
Which makes me feel good,
I think so much more of myself,
Like everybody should. 
Only you can get yourself,
To a point you feel you belong,
It doesn't matter how long it takes,
So long as you continue to go on. 
For life will throw you obstacles,
Of which you learn to conquer, 
And all it will do in the long run,
Is help to build you stronger.
If ever your having a day,
That your feeling a little blue,
Remember just how far you've come,
And that its all down to you!
