Speak. I shall listen
To each unending word from your lips.
Smile. I shall see
The love of an entire people beneath the surface.
Cry. I shall weep
Alongside your suffering, for I know the cost.
Love. I shall love
Every part of you that I created by my own hands.
Cower. I shall fill
Your soul with every bit of strength to survive.
Bend. I shall fortify
So that you shall never break beneath the burden.
Stop. If it is my will you shall go,
But stop and listen for a moment.
Breathe. And never stop
It is my precious gift of life to you.
Know. Think. Focus.
Be that which I made you to be.
