Greet the day with a song,
Your face in the mirror with a smile
Run off your blues
It’s not about winning; you make the world better by being.
There is silence for those missing,
Your heart carries them for you.
Hear them laugh and sing,
feel them take your hand in comfort
and kiss your cheek,
trade their wisdom for tears.
They want you to thrive
They want you to love
They want you to be.
Lose that argument with your sorrow; deserve yourself.
Emptiness is space that needs filling;
Make room for yourself.
Cheer the endless good,
Wrap yourself in hope
And know that your life brings light and love.
Shine.
