May you take a step into the unknown
A leap of faith guided by soul
A mind that races
Questions left unanswered;
Wondering about the world.
Creative ideas left unfinished-
A to-do list incomplete;
Cry with no tears, but smile.
Emotion left hidden inside.
To release and confront life
Face to face with every fear-
There is no step back.
But stand still for as long as you will
Allow yourself to grow
To be creative and express it
Stay strong and independent
Take a step into the unknown
Accomplish and conquer
To look back and see where you’ve been
And see how much you’ve grown.
