“Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter,
and those who matter, don’t mind.” ~Theodor Geisel
Except it’s not that easy.
Except that sometimes
There are people
Who will want to quiet you and
Keep you still.
Except that sometimes
You will put up walls
That get in your own way
That you will try
Years
To climb out of
Until the only way to climb out
Is to
Just
Be
You.
Deeply rooted
Full of
Action
Consistency
Principles
Value
And measure
Your worth
In His hands.
And that those words you speak
Build up
because they are spoken
because they are spoken
with Truth
And always
With love.
And that you,
That ‘you’
who you are
Is always you.
Even when no one is watching.
“Live,
so that when your children think of FAIRNESS, CARING and INTEGRITY,
they think of you.”
~H. Jackson Brown Jr.~
