Your fire burns too

Don’t lower your eyes, stand up high,

The world is waiting for your cry.

Within you lies a spark so bright,

A unique fire, a beautiful light.

You watch others shine with grace,

Their wings spread wide in open space.

But listen closely, deep inside,

A rare talent dwells, you cannot hide.

Each star illuminates its night,

Each stream finds its bed so right.

Don’t doubt, don’t fear, don’t shy,

Your brilliance will rise, that’s no lie.

The most beautiful trees grow slow,

The greatest dreams take time to flow.

Don’t compare your path to theirs,

Each walks toward their destined prayers.

So dare, write, sing, and dance,

Paint, invent, and create your chance.

The world awaits what you’ll unfold,

For your talent shines, pure as gold.
