And the Words You Put Down Will Be Magic

Hang tough little ones
      as you walk 
      through the gauntlet of scorn
      and the fists of the bully.
      Hang tough and you will
      come out the other side.
      And when you do
      you will think and feel
      more deeply
      and see life in a way
      that others cannot.
      And when you think
      and feel,
      and see more deeply,
      your hearts will beat music,
      your brush
      will splash rainbows,
      and the words
      you put down will be magic.
