Let your ribs be the iron cage That winged hearts of men fear Let your eyes hold such depth All who gaze be lost there, always Let your arms be lovely yet strong May you contest with Atlas As you both hold up the world Let tears be not weakness But rivers that cut their path Through the stone mountains of your cheeks Let lips hold words of faith and courage May you speak truthfully May you be harsh when called for Let your voice shake the earth You are nature herself You bleed the Golden Ichor of Gods And where it falls, flowers grow Let your heart be the strong Oak And your capillaries, roots The sky will bend for you The birds will sing for you The world will love you But love yourself, first.
