My mama used to say,
”Embrace the place
where you are planted.”
Make the best
of your situation
whatever it may be.

Till your roots so they will flourish
and expand into
what you were made to be and do.

Do not allow fear
to hold you back.
You are who you are.
Take pride
in that.

Be the light
that shines through
the mist and the fog.
Light the way
for others to follow
and energize the void

with love and peace.
Show others how
to be a shining light, too.
Share and spread the light.
Share and spread the love.
Share and spread the peace.
