You are ...

You are strong...
when you take your grief and teach to smile

you are brave ...
when you overcome your fear 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 than yesterday's mistake

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

you are free...
when you are in control of yours if and do not wish to control others

you are 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 know how humble you are

you are thoughtful...
when you see me 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 than you have

you are you...
when you are at peace with who you are not
