To my children

      To my children.......

Don’t ever feel the need to blend into the crowd 
Don’t ever walk behind with your head hung low and bowed 
Don’t ever doubt yourself or what your heart is able
Don’t ever contort yourself into someone else’s label
Don’t ever underestimate what you have to give 
Don’t you ever take for granted the life you have to live
Don’t ever give up trying for what you wish to seek
Don’t ever give up fighting when your spirit is too weak
Never should you shy away and hide into the dark
Never be afraid to always leave your mark
Never hide from others, who you really are 
And never think a goalpost is ever placed too far
Never shy from generosity but always fear for greed
Never front on stubbornness or to proud yet to plead
Always know your own worth to self and all around 
Take comfort in your own voice and follow through the sound 
Always know you are loved eternally through and through 
And always know your perfect simply being you.
