Some of us have rarely been allowed to stand alone as ourselves, breath, touch our inner soul,
think, reflect, take deep breaths of our OWN….and simply “BE!”
Work like you don’t need the money, Love like you’ve never been hurt,
And dance like no-one’s watching—ALWAYS in everything.
Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never in nothing,
great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.
Cherish your wishes and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul
and the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
Like the light in the dark of a dismal night, let your self STAND OUT as glowing,
warm, and welcome, PROUD in the unmistaken truth, that YOU own YOU!
