Rise Up

Rise up
and let your voice be heard
let those words roll of your tongue to reach others
spread your arms wide
embrace those nearest to you in a circle of love

you are a part of humanities song
an integral member with much music in your heart

let it be heard   let it be heard

you are an amazement
a brilliant star that shines high in torquise skies
or a strong tall tree
that spreads its branches lovingly to 
shelter those that need it

how very beautiful you are
how very special
I am so glad you are here
in my heart of hearts.
