Self-Speak
Present man, give the past a hug.
Tell the child within the adult
not to fear.
Learn again how to play and
Tilt your face to the sun.
Present woman, remember your dreams.
Nurture them as a baby cradled
in your arms.
Dare to differ, risk that chuckle,
And be kind, always, to yourself.
Present world, learn to love.
See the rivers, and the mountains;
be ever proud.
Speak with wisdom, hate all war,
And spin, with blue skies, in the stars.
