Being Myself

Be kind, said they,

Kindness dissolves rocks,

I try and intend to,

A smile, a considerate word,

Empathy and helping hand..

Be strong, said they,

Strength wins battles,

I try and intend to,

A resilient, tolerant outlook,

A forgiving, poised demeanor...

Be brave, said they,

Bravery fights all odds,

I try and intend to,

Facing challenges head_on,

Unperturbed, self-assured......

Be bold, said they,

Boldness upholds justice,

I try and intend to,

Trying to defend one's rights,

To set things right....

Be determined, said they,

Determination breaks barriers,

I try and intend to,

Persevere on and on,

Hurtling away hindrances.....

Be fit, said they,

Fitness ensures longevity,

I try and intend to,

Be sound of mind and body,

Enhancing spiritual well-being...

Be this, be that, said the rest,

I endeavored to be the best,

I lost myself in the maze,

Found myself in a haze,

Why can't I just be myself?

Enlightenment dawned,

Maybe I just need to let go,

Of this mindless obsession,

Pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,

Naturally, fall in place...

God's creations so unique,

Each precious on its own,

An invaluable addition,

To his vast collection,

A masterpiece par excellence...

Sculpted with the utmost care,

With loads of intuition,

Every curve a stroke of genius,

Groomed with delicate fingers,

Set ablaze with resplendence...
