To Those Poem by Kevin Fix

To those who made me who I am
By hate or love you gave me strength
To those who knocked me down you taught
What's worth the fight is worth defeat
To those who gave a helping hand
Who didn't know my soul
But took a chance on what was hidden
And seen beyond the wall

To those that give their heart each day
Asking nothing in return
Except to breathe new life within
The captive soul, who needs them most
Who's let their light grow dim
Now freed from the sadness
By a touch, a word, a friend

So to those who see the world as one
And bring old hearts new life
Who know we're more the same than not
You've truly changed our lives
By choosing not to pass us by
And closing off your mind
To those I thank you
From a heart
So many left behind
