Giving My All

I gave my all

Stood proud

Stood tall

Through every rise

Through every fall

I paid the cost

Through pain and loss

Crossed frozen streams

Without a gloss

When dreams took flight

I held them tight

Through darkest days

Through longest nights

The road was steep

The wounds ran deep

But hope I'd sow

And faith I'd keep

Each scar I wear

Shows I was there

I faced the storm

Repaired the tear

No half held heart

No timid start

I played my role

I gave my part

With every breath

I challenged death

And pushed beyond  

My final depth

If I should break

Or fortunes shake

I'll know I gave  

All I could make

No shame to hide

No truth denied

I left my fear  

And doubt aside

For win or lose

I got to choose

To light my fire  

Instead of fuse

And when they call  

My final roll

They'll say I gave  

My heart

My soul

I gave my all

I gave my best

I passed the trial

I stood the test
