Lately the day is long and the night’s moon
Brightens the darkness like a loon.
It reminds me of the times I change my tune
So that friends and family stay with me, in tune,
With my needs for their support, strength, love.
The harmony within is all our closest entourage
Request of us if they truly believe in our being
Just who we are, unapologetic for our strengths
And weaknesses, hoping that both are accepted.
Even if you’re not peer friendly, who cares
As long as your symphony within and without
Portrays who you really are in a bout
That you win as your strength can accept
Either failure or criticism and move forward
To improve upon who you are with your resilience.
