May He Always Know
Dear little boy,
you have not journeyed far
but these things I will tell you,
you already are.
Just some small reminders
to follow your dreams,
to continue being strong,
and what strength truly means.
Strength doesn’t always
come from the loudest,
the one who talks most,
the one who’s the proudest.
Strength can be quiet,
pride knows how to listen,
creates beauty from shadows
and not just things that glisten.
Strength can be dancing,
or running a mile,
lending a hand,
or sharing a smile.
It’s also about giving,
for some will just take
You have courage little one,
let it mend things that break.
Strength is in showing
how to lead from your heart,
and sometimes my boy
it will set you apart.
Your friends should uplift you,
you always have a choice,
to stay, or walk away
let your heart be your voice.
Strength can be your body
Strength can be your mind
You can lift heavy things,
and be gentle and kind.
Strength is in loving
it is letting yourself feel
Tears are strength too,
it allows us to heal.
Let the sun touch your face,
let art run through your veins
It’s ok to be fearful
It’s ok to feel pain.
You are brave, you are bold,
may you shine, may you grow.
With the strongest of hearts,
may you always know.
Strength can be many things,
though you’ve not journeyed far,
I will always love you
for exactly who you are.
