reluctant hero

you are gifted, but are uneasy with the gift.
you are gentle, but not with yourself.
you are entangled, but by your own hands.

consider your path, it is no one elses.
consider your trials, they are your lessons.
consider your health, it is the key to your peace.

be patient, each day belongs in your life.
be confident, your people support you.
be intent, you have need to pay attention.

have peace, it accepts difficulty.
have hope, it grows tomorrow.
have joy, it is the bouquet of life.

exhuberant youth properly lacks awareness of its gift, its energy, its potential. it is aggresive and curious. it burns.
2007 update. still burning as life follows him where he goes - as life tends to do.
