Beauty in the dirt
Right before my eyes
I wipe away the sweat
And soon I realize
That each moment
No matter which one
Has worked hard
To make me who I have become
A collection of these
Is what I became to be
The good and the bad
And some times the ugly
But through it all
I can remain true
Knowing that no matter what
I can abide in you
