Listen to poem:

Finding Yourself

The truth of who you are
will bring you to the truth of who you can be

The truth is truly freeing

Sometimes a hard look at how you feel
Will tell you exactly what is real

Your rational mind cannot do it
instead, your heart and time to intuit

Taking the time to know who you are
Is the best gift you can give to yourself

It makes your connection to the world firm
It indulges you in living life on your terms

Who are you? Find out!
And when you know, shout it out!

Finding yourself - (C) Artimus  Susan Manley 3/1/2001
