first and foremost 

what is it that is important to you 

do you keep it hidden

or shout it out to share

what’s at the top of your to do list

do you really care

there in your heart of hearts

what’s the focus of your focus 

are u cruising

to find what’s amusing 

or do u want to  make a difference 

in the time that you are here

cause if you stand up to be counted

if you raise your hand to be heard

your message must be molded

to be delivered without fear

that takes courage

that takes strength 

that means you must love yourself 

and have a little faith   

so if you removed the defenses 

and all the pretended that are fake

and if the soul of you were to speak

what would it have to say

cause you do have the power

to speak your truth

and shine so bright 

it Enlightens others on the way
