Show up stand up
You’ve earned the right to care
But be aware if people stare
it’s not because they know
You have a light that shines so bright on their insecurities
With faith and the courage to wait
Wading through impurities
Conscious clear have no fear
Stay true to what is LOVE
You have the skills that come from building character
Always know in your heart
the fuel that drives us all
Be kind and always give yourself chances
To do better
Know more and make the choice to BREATHE
The path is ahead don’t look behind with too much regret
Each mistake a stepping stone
to build a life to call our own
No one can take
What is ours alone
He her them
Collectively we are everything
The stars
The moon
And the sun
Earthbound and beyond
Inevitably we return to take these final steps
Feet firmly planted Moving shaking anticipating
Connecting all of the dots
Be still stay calm for certain I do know
You are where you belong here with ME
Us not there and
gone
