I WAS BORN TO SHINE
poem

I WAS BORN TO SHINE

I was created to be a light,

Not to hide my light,

Tenderly, don't fear the darkness,

But to get up and take on the battle.


I am the child of dreams,

To have faith in something significant,

To cross each hurdle

But never give in to destiny.


There could be days I falter,

There are times that I fall down,

But each lesson I get my strength,

Each time I fail, I feel like a big dude.


I have been born for a reason,

There's a reason to be here,

To reach out to people's lives,

Then get rid of doubts and take their place in cheer.


I don't want to draw a comparison to my own journey.

Along with the journey of one another.

My road is my own,

Then I will walk with my head held high.


When things get hard for me,

I will fight on.

Tell him that I can,

I will say, "I have no fear.


I was born for a purpose,

To be the best that I can be,

In order to make my dreams come true.

And set my spirit free.


My light may at times be a flickering light,

It will not go away, however.

By faith, hope and determination,

I will journey on without fear.


I was created to be a blessing

And shine,

Because life is not always easy,

But until I achieve my goals, I won't give up.
