when you are

When You are strong
you take your grief
and
teach it to smile

When You are brave
you overcome the fear
and
help others
to do the same

When You are happy
you see beauty
In
the tiniest of things
and are thankful
for that blessing

When You are loving
your own pain
does not blind you
to the pain of others

When You are wise
you know the limits
of your wisdom
when
hope for tomorrow
means more to you
than yesterday's mistake

You are a true
human being

when you admit
there are times
you fool yourself
You are alive

You are growing
when you know
what you are
but
not what you will become

You are truely honorable
when you find your honor
is
to honor others

You are generous
when you can take
as sweetly
as you can give

You are humble
when you do not realize
how humble you are

You are surely free
when you are in control
of yourself
and
do not wish
to control others

you forgive in others
the faults you condemn
in yourself

when You walk in beauty
you are at peace
with who you are not

you do not need
a mirror!
