To All Who
To all who paint or sculpt or write,
To all who cook or knit –
Resist the urge, when criticized,
To simply up and quit.
To those who dance or sing or act,
To those who spar or race –
Remember what you do is yours
To discard or embrace.
Ignore the critics who say nay
And disregard their gloom,
For only you can nurture
What’s within and make it bloom.
