Your life is shining so bright 

Hard to tell if it’s day or night.

–

You’re a bright shining star

Just for being who you are.

–

You were made in your own special way

Embrace your ‘inner weird’ in work and play.

–

Being you has been a series of feats

As each evolution the self completes.

–

Life will pass you, in the blink of an eye 

Live it well as you can, before you die.

–

You’ve got all of this and much more 

Life is the game and you know the score.

–

Living your dreams and blazing a trail

Taking control of your life without fail.

–

Challenging yourself and all you know

With each lesson you further grow.

–

Don’t look back unless with a smile 

Negative dwelling cramps your style.

–

Adages say “things happen for reasons”

Some short, while others last seasons.

–

So just sit back, smile, beaming with pride 

Fasten your safety belt, and enjoy the ride.
