You are...

Strong when you take your grief and teach it to smile,

Brave when you overcome your fear and help others do the same,

Happy when you see a flower and give it your blessing,

Loving when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others,

Wise when you know the limits of your wisdom,

True when you admit there are times you fool yourself,

Alive when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake,

Growing when you know what you are but not what you will come to be,

Free when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others,

Honorable when you find your honor is to honor others,

Generous when you can take as sweetly as you give,

Humble when you do not know how humble you are,

Thoughtful when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are,

Merciful when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself,

Beautiful when you don't need a mirror to tell you,

Rich when you never need more than you have.

You are what you are and that is enough for anyone to be loved.
