Stand tall

Stand tall

Stand true

Be proud of who you are

Because you have come far

But stay humble too

For God knows how tough the road to get here was

For you have not

Will never have

‘Arrived’

Still there is a time

To be secure

In the person you know yourself to be

In the lessons you learned along the way

And what would you creator think

If you only chose the path of

Self effacement

For like every single human being

You were made in the likeness of God

Your inner spirit is a spark of that global sun

And the individuality that God

Gave life to burning inside of you

Was born to shine

Not to wither and grow all darkened

And blackened

And obscured by tarnish
