We

Uplift the dreams of each other
join your hearts with one another
be loving and strong — let truth stand

living life is ever daunting
at times — we are all found wanting
seek to forgive not to demand

come the ghost of doubt — insecure
terrifying being unsure
certain no one can understand

no need to fear you’re not alone
we all have secrets kept unknown
life’e an ocean — they’re grains of sand

find the special way you’re needed
hear their concerns — see they’re heeded
when they’re downcast extend your hand

veiled insincerity — be gone
real integrity — go beyond
proud to be we — woman and man
