The other Avery Is everything I want to be And more She is kindness Never putting others down Joyfully caring for those around her She is humility Leaving the focus on her friends Letting others feel known and loved She is joy A smile on her face bright as the sun Even when the world is dark as night She is patience Knowing things will pass Seeing a way out without rushing She is self-control Holding fast to where she needs to be Even when she could leave now She is goodness Helping everyone And seeing the beauty in everything She is faithfulness Never straying from her friends Never starting from God's will for her She is peace Even in the storm of life She has her footing in God She is gentleness Loving those around her With tender care And she is love Putting others needs before her own Loving all no matter what She is everything I want to be Avery can I be like you?? I don't know if I'm capable But Avery, my ride or die You're my role model My best friend who leads me to the light
