- Sue, stand up, stand up!
- Be bold, be strong!
- Your talent, on world stage, truly does belong!
- You are a beacon, shining bright,
- Birthed to emerge, grow, and shine your inner light!
- It is a crime to leave talent, dusty on a rickety, hidden shelf,
- Set out your stall;
- allow true expression of your amazing inner self.
- Surely, you will experience some discomfort as you stretch,
- far better than staying a self-defeating, self-pitying little wretch?
- Rather, as you experience movement, create life-changing shifts,
- you will, newly emboldened, dare to share your gifts!
- Life is truly meant for us to live; by our own example, given
- To those, like us, who have sometimes been
- Squashed, ignored, or diligently working;
- self-e(acing, behind a screenOf uniformity; water poured on burning
- *re,Quashed down, made damp squib of all passion and desire.
- And, as others bask in your new golden glow,
- It helps for them, also to know,
- That they have their own miracles to perform,
- Whether on a stage, or as more often is the norm,
- In their own families and communities,
- through their daily life and deeds,
- Do great work; sow and nurture the seeds
- Of positivity, purposefulness and joy,
- With which we all entered this world to buoyUp ourselves and others,
- manifest the birth right of our mothers,
- As we mix with friends, many others,who enter into our life’s stratosphere.
- All add dark and shade, maybe cause us to shed a tear,
- Perhaps of joy or sometimes pain, so, ultimately, of our own truth, understanding we gain.
- Right here and now, we need to show,
- Through heartfelt determination,strength of courage,
- We all have the power to foster our own abilities, to grow;
- Achieve our birth right to succeed; root out the dreaded weed
- That with stranglehold choked downour well-intentioned schemes,
- Left us struggling with dashed hopes, and broken,once beautiful dreams.
- So meaning-full, join us to create, an interwoven, brilliant picture to which all can relate!
- As one voice, stand up and state:
- “We are here to live mindfully in this life, we choose creativity, positive intent over unrewarding strife
- and as we choose to change how we ourselves perceive, in our own dreams, our legacy, our power, we truly believe.
