How/Now

This is not the time
To give in, give up, become
Quaking shadows of ourselves,
This is a moment to be
Bold, courageous, undefeated,
Unstoppable in our bargain.
If we quit, the present, future,
Will never know our hopes,
The world will not realize
The goals we have often dreamed;
We are creators, innovators,
Of shining fortunes only
We can bring unto fruition
Born into this reality.
We must continue tenaciously, now,
Dismiss doubt, fear, negativity,
Bring the best of who we are
And who we are meant to be,
We are those who can, and will,
Practice creativity with love
Enough to change our lives, others,
Into tapestries of bright positivity.
