Abandoned

The past has passed and nothing can change that
That foundation has been paved, solidified, yet remains
Even though we feel as if it is weak legs we stand on
All we can hope for is to be strong enough to break down
Our faults clean, stability rehonored
Contentment achieved from impartially accepting the truth
Not only shall we move on, we'll move up
To where we cant see the bottom though aware of its existence

Rebuilding is truly a methodical process
It takes a drive and a blue print, a will and a way
But the way must be discovered to channel the will
Encouraging ourselves, we search for the light
In order to appreciate the light we must endure the darkness
Understand nothing is of value unless we know no value
Our attitudes must thirst for the heart to be humble
Realize that we'll never know everything ever
Obstacles still hide within the clear path we see
They lie and lie deep but we'll pass on by
Sheer confidence knowing 'more' was meant for us
Respect the true self within, let THAT shine on through
Because this is the point in life where a real gain is assumed
The moment further witness our potential as people
To those contest, we'll just take the broader scope
Obviously advancing a radically different structure
We pick to build this for a lifetime of shelter
Sure enough our last would falter in any storm
It's possible this new construction stands the test of time
But the key is knowing when to patch or renovate
The best builder is not too proud to admit mistakes
Share the trials with those that are willing to learn
So hopefully, more will find the proper process
Accept the vision as a blessing, we correct our steps
And live on, better than we last did
