You Are

You are free to be anything you want Take from the world what you need Scatter yourself everywhere So that you are still here even when you’re gone You are a daughter and sister who has learned and grown Still showing traces of a little girl’s innocence that wrapped itself around you before you were aware of life’s reality You are a wife and mother who cares deeply for her family Always loving and nurturing but also giving them room to grow Hold their hands yet know when to let go You are a co-worker, neighbor, friend dependable, honest, and real Someone who loves to laugh even at yourself Sharing advice, sympathy, strength when those around you need it most You are a person who makes mistakes learns from them and moves on A student of life whose mind is never closed Open to new things, people, places yet stays grounded in faith You know it’s okay not to give one hundred percent of yourself Because when your children are grown or if you find yourself alone You will still be secure in who you are Your cup is half full while your heart overflows You are true to yourself and the ones you love You are a beautiful soul that needs to be free You are me
