Be
Be...
proud of your
perfectly imperfect self
and offer no apologies for it.
Be...
courageous
in the face of
life's daunting challenges.
Be...
free of whatever
holds you in bondage;
fear, shame, self-doubt, etc.
Be...
a shining example
for others; you'll inspire them
to follow your lead.
Be...
compassionate
in this cruel, unkind world
and good karma will find you.
Be...
bold in standing up
for what you believe in, and never
compromise your principles.
Be...
powerful
in body and spirit, even when
you feel weak, because you're strong.
Be...
a shoulder
to cry on, a comforting voice;
somebody's champion.
Be...
grateful
for small blessings
and all that you have.
Be...
all you can be
refusing to be less than
Just simply be!
