I want to say thank you For this moment shared  On this journey of life As we stop along the way To share of ourselves Relish in our humanity   Sharing in your laughter So pure and rich in it essence Reflecting the innocence that’s you The possibilities that are you All that is you at this time Shining in your splendor   A fortunate experience Being a part of the beauty that is you The beauty of you reflecting life’s beauty Knowing that with well defined paths You could protect your innocence Continue to always laugh as you now do   Refreshing to see the unbridled passion As you begin to confront you Ready to question while trying to understand Wanting to rebel because it gives you identity Be observant of the rule for guidance Looking at images that could give acceptance   So as this dynamic path of life unfolds Embrace the uniqueness that is you Celebrate the diversity that’s a representative Of family, friends and humanity Question what doesn’t feel right Secure in the knowledge that you matter   Guard your beauty and innocence From popular sentiments destructive grip Listen to your heart for the truths and rights Let respect be your companion in all you do With your conscience as your guide Your laughter will forever be free     [Home] [About] [Contact Us] [Poetry] [My Poetry] [Featured Poem] [User Poems] [Three Poems] [Events] [Guidelines] [Legal]
