It’s been awhile
Since I’ve taken to poem
I’ve been planting flowers
And staying at home
Things have changed so much
In this world of ours
So many in fear
So many who cower
We need to regain
Our felt sense of self
We need to hold onto
Our own inner wealth
To know who we are
And who we will become
We need to hold strong
‘Till our work here is done
So do what you must
And trust where you are
You are more than you think
You are truly a star
