In Honor of the Strength in Each of Us

Dare to Thrive
With an open heart I can dare
to face the pain
and to bear the glare
of all the hurt, doubts, and fears
that try to hold me back through years;
And in that bearing,
in that choice,
I gain a strength,
a new-found voice
to Live and Love,
to truly Be,
connected,
whole,
and truly free.
Yet, when we close our hearts in fear,
we lock ourselves away,
unclear
of all the beauty that surrounds
and all the love that can be found.
So I let my heart break and shatter
again and again,
moment by moment,
I allow it to flutter…
because in the breaking
I’m fully alive,
in pain,
I found the will to thrive.
And though sometimes it’s tough,
I know that an open heart is enough
to face the truth
and the reality of life,
with all its joys and pains
there’s not much lost but only gained.
Because in the bearing of the unbearable,
I’ve found my strength,
my will to live
my need to strive,
accept,
move on,
and be,
my courage,
my ultimate Love,
and my will to give.
