Did you look up to find
the sky gray?
Did you forget
that you hold
the sunrise
in your smile?
And that your heart’s
radiant light
shines along the path
to each new day?
Remember,
you
hold
the sunrise
in your smile.

Play Your Tune

Never dismiss yourself simply because someone else has.
Instead, know you are a rare and brilliant song.
Your tune sprang to life like any of heaven’s brightest stars.
A melody of innumerable forces combined to create you.
This is why you shine.
Despite your light, there are those who will dismiss the work you pour yourself into.
And some recipients of your affection will hand your heart back to you with a note of rejection.
One or two won’t leave a note.
They’ll just go.
Your heart will ache.
But these people are not for you.
They don’t hear your music.
Even with a broken heart, you are a perfect song.
And when a worthy soul hears your melody, they’ll appreciate every note.
They may not always express their feelings.
This is known to happen when you hear a song so sweet it tugs at your heartstrings and the words on your tongue freeze.
So, don’t dismiss yourself simply because it seems someone else has.
They may appreciate you more than you realize.
Or maybe they simply are not for you.
Here’s the thing, you are a unique melody and even if you think -mistakenly so- that no one hears you, never run away from your tune.
Keep playing your music.
Eventually, the world within your gravitational pull will spring to life and dance with you.
