are not your story,
all the endings you may have thought
foreshadowed what would come of you
are not your ending
Pick up your tale - don't let it
drag in the dust -
you aren't ordained to go the way
you have been told befalls
everyone else,
and no one else is either
Pay attention - this is not a time to drift,
it's not a time to fall,
It's time to catch your upward lift,
time to embrace your all
Take in the new unfolding steps
as courage leads you -
This is your story, and the world's -
Step forth - it needs you.
