With feelings of gratitude

I search and find, sunshine

Describes my daily attitude

It’s like my sunny disposition

Takes hold of me,  the key

That starts up my ignition

Seeing the world through eyes

Mesmerized by happiness

Brightens the darkest skies

Pure expressions of delight

Bring bliss, a sense of joy

Changes everything in my sight

From one minute to the next…

Lightning strikes, where we least expect

It is with this type of precision…

We can change our lives with one decision

You really need to know…

Understanding where it is, you intend to go

The fire inside your heart…

Will spark the answers about where to start

Like an arrow stays the course…

Calculating carefully, before applying force

Moments hold such great power…

In time, a seed turns into an incredible flower

Will it be a journey or a ride…

Everything changes, the moment that you decide

Limitless, living right beside

Nights and days, spent

Dreaming about our purpose

And our passion, always

Available, to you and I

The realization, requires

Perception and belief

It is in the leaning forward

Learning the only failure

Exists in what we regret

Without our dreams, there

Is no reason to move ahead

Success is an achievement of

Persistence, following through

Forging on, for your big dreams

Await, upon you, only

Daring to listen

To the voice within

Against all odds

Avoiding logic and

Reason, saying yes

Walking boldly into

Fear and the unknown

When the heart says

Yes, your pulse quickens

Deep down inside

Digging for a strength

You have yet to know

Heartbeats like a drum

So you opt to let go

And find the courage

To follow your heart

Because I can, I will

Armed with ambition, I proceed

Obstacles appear as hurdles

I fly over them, spirit taking flight

At the most difficult of times

I get by, encouraged

Once again, another try

When it does not yet exist

I find the way, exploring

Building bridges, I cross over

To discover, that experience

The best teacher, leads me

As I aspire to greater knowledge

To be all that I am meant to be

Fulfilling my potential

Because, I can

With the simplest gestures

The torch is passed, powerfully

Silently, from person to person

Witness it in a passing smile

Eyes gently sparkling, saying

Hello, yet no words are spoken

The chain remains unbroken

Unending, circling around

And around, hands reaching

Out, forge bonds with strangers

Build bridges, connect people

A universal language, understood

Wordless expressions, exchange

Igniting fires, growing friendships

In these brief moments, we are

United by the circle of kindness

While no one was listening…

I sang with a voice so golden

While no one was watching…

I painted my masterpiece

While no one was looking…

I stood there at center stage

While no one was bothering…

I stepped into the spotlight

While no one was caring…

I won my golden trophy

While no one was following…

I danced across the world

While no one was helping…

I spread my wings to fly

While no one was listening…

I played with all my heart

I declare

The expectations of your future are perfectly clear

I believe

In you, and everything that I know you will achieve

I know

You will grow and blossom from all the seeds you sow

I recognize

That fire and passion is always burning in your eyes

I swear

One day you will be honored as person of the year

I assure

You are so full of promise with the brightest future

Your distinguished

A flame so brilliant

Meant to burn not extinguish

And when you hit them

Your sparkling like

A lustrous gem

Shining with light

««<»»>

Your outstanding

A talent so exceptional

Born with a voice, commanding

When they hear you sing

Your epic sound

The people’s king

Wearing the crown

My spirits still rise, though I may fall

Pointed with intent, I will stand tall

I lean purposefully forward into my life

Fighting a world that cuts like a knife

Like the pioneers before me, I blaze trails

Armed like a warrior, my spirit never fails

Free from the prisons of emotional slavery

I choose courage and the spirit of bravery
