Just You

Let you be you Be your own identity Just you You are a gift You are loved You are special You are beautiful You are powerful You are someone's best friend You are the pride and joy of your parents You are most needed in our lives So throw not away your life for the work of evil Step away from the ground of trouble Pave your own pathway Allow your heart to lead not your mind Trust in God your savior Have faith in your will Dare to dream big Discover beyond your capability Have them believe NOT worry Make them proud NOT sorry So care to give to receive Give it your best with pure intent for when you do, you're filled with pure joy A pure heart allows you to accomplish things others deem impossible Aside from it all, don't settle for less but stay humble Now ditch your past and let you be shined on You, your dreams and your achievements You and your own identity Just YOU...Sweet- Smile!

I wrote it for my first cousin and thankfully between me and my family showered her with love and support, she changed and back to us. She's now glowing with joy again and a lady of courage to others now. Thanks so much, Ed, you've been so kind with all your positive and kind comments...Hugs :)
