You are........

You are strong…
when you take your grief

and teach it to smile.

You are Brave…
when you over come your fears

and help others to do the same.

You are Happy…
when you see a flower and

are thankful for the blessing.

You are Loving….
when your own pain does not 

blind you to the pain of others.

You are wise….
when you know the limits

of your wisdom.

You are True….
when you admit there are
 

times you fool yourself.

You are Alive….
when tomorrow’s hope means
 

more to you then yesterday;s

 mistakes.

You are growing…
when you know what you are

but not what you will become.

You are Free…
when you are in control of yourself
and do not wish to control others.

You are Honerable…
when you find your honor
 

is to find honer others.

You are generous…
when you can take as 

sweetly as you can give.

You are Humble….
when you do not know

how humble you are.

You are thoughtful.. .
when you see me as just as i am

and treat me just as you are.

You are Merciful..
when you forgive in others the

faults you condemn in yourself.

You are Beautiful…
when you do not need

a mirror to tell you.

You are Rich…
when you never need

more then whet you have.

You are YOU…
when you are at peace

with who you are not.
