YOU

YOU MAY NOT THINK THAT THE WORLD NEEDS YOU, 

BUT IT DOES. 

FOR, YOU ARE UNIQUE, 

LIKE NO ONE THAT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE 

OR WILL COME AFTER. 

NO ONE CAN SPEAK WITH YOUR VOICE, 

SAY YOUR PIECE, 

SMILE YOUR SMILE OR SHINE YOUR LIGHT. 

NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR PLACE,

 FOR IT IS YOURS ALONE TO FILL. 

IF YOU ARE NOT THERE TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT , 

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY TRAVELERS WILL LOSE THEIR WAY 

AS THEY TRY TO PASS BY YOUR EMPTY PLACE IN THE DARKNESS.
