At some point one must be bold,
And let one’s passion be told,
Revealing the riches held within
Before they dull and wear thin.
Whether in art, in drawing, in dance,
In poems, in videos; when we cast a glance,
We come to see that we all hold
Within each of us gifts untold.
Seek and find your way
In silence, listen to what your voice would say
You hold riches within you today
In truth, you are rich as a king, come what may
It is enough to know your worth,
By searching your heart for its birth,
Then to think of the use you can be.
A use grounded in your identity
You can help someone with your words
Your simple smile can soothe their hurts.
Your simple presence can rekindle a flame
Your encouragement can put idleness to shame.
You must be of use to humanity
Your passage here must be earned worthily
You must serve humanity
You must flee all vanity.
You have a gift to bring to the fore
You have a world to explore
Give the best of yourself today
Yes, find your way!!
M. Z.
