idk

You are strong... 
when you take your grief 
and teach it to smile.


You are brave... 
when you overcome your fear and 
help others to do the same.


You are happy... 
when you see a flower and 
are thankful for the blessing.

You are loving... 
when your own pain does not 
blind you to the pain of others.

You are wise... 
when you know the 
limits of your wisdom.

You are true... 
when you admit there 
are times you fool yourself.

You are alive... 
when tomorrow's hope 
means more to you than yesterday's mistake.

You are growing... 
when you know what you are 
but not what you will become.

You are free... 
when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control 
others.

You are honorable... 
when you find your honor 
is to honor others.

You are generous... 
when you can take as 
sweetly as you can give.

You are humble... 
when you do not know 
how humble you are.

You are thoughtful... 
when you see me just as 
I am and treat me just as you are.

You are merciful... 
when you forgive in others 
the faults you condemn in 
yourself.

You are beautiful... 
when you don't need 
a mirror to tell you.

You are rich... 
when you never need 
more than what you have.

You are you... 
when you are at peace 
with who you are not.
