Notes About The Poem

JUST BE YOU

 

A Praying Mantis 

Can’t be a butterfly;

Nor can a moth 

Be a hiving be:-

Know that it’s not

What you are,

But who you are: God’s

Unmistakable child:-

 

Don’t ever strive to be

What others think 

You ought to be;

Rather, always be

That great creature

God created you to be:-

Let the cosmic essence

Of your glorious being,

Forever be a shining star,

Enlightening terrestrial Earth

With God’s peace and love:-

 

Being who you are,

Is God’s divine purpose

Of your blessed being:

The creator of grace, 

Peace, and love,

Never has, and never will,

Make a mistake:-

Thus, never attempt to

Exit who and whose you are:-

 

JUST BE YOU

JUST BE YOU

A Praying Mantis 
Can’t be a butterfly;
Nor can a moth 
Be a hiving be:-
Know that it’s not
What you are,
But who you are: God’s
Unmistakable child:-

Don’t ever strive to be
What others think 
You ought to be;
Rather, always be
That great creature
God created you to be:-
Let the cosmic essence
Of your glorious being,
Forever be a shining star,
Enlightening terrestrial Earth
With God’s peace and love:-

Being who you are,
Is God’s divine purpose
Of your blessed being:
The creator of grace, 
Peace, and love,
Never has, and never will,
Make a mistake:-
Thus, never attempt to
Exit who and whose you are:-
