Being Yourself

Be the way that you want to be Not the way that others have chose, Be not your Mother, nor your Father Because in your body their blood does flow. Be what you want if you so desire If that! is what is in your soul, Bring forth a wish or make a dream And never be stopped by, "No". Laugh if you feel like laughing Even though the world might frown, Laugh from your soul, even if there's woe But laugh, because it is your sound. Sing a song as loud as you need Even though friends will turn their head, And do the things that you do seek And never follow, when you should have led. Seek your pleasures before you seek others Forget what other books have wrote, Worry for yourself, before anyone else Then unto life, you will proudly hold. Randy L. McClave
