Chris Green Poet Acrostic

Securing Your Strengths

Securing your strengths  
Encased deep inside
Lift every veil
Found in yourself
Accept all the extra
Cautioning panic
Treat it with trust 
Understand the menu
Affirm the plea
Laugh off the dull
Invite the alumni 
Zero in on the glitz
Act out each stanza
Triple the hunt
Ignore the anti
Option the bravado
Never give up again
