Let It Be Said... Poem by Kimberly Hilliker

Let it be said that you are you and only you; That you believe in yourself when others doubt you. That you waste not your time on the mingling of others’ affairs but on improving your own; That you speak your truth, and it’s clearly spoken; That you choose your friends wisely yet are congenial to all; That you’ll not pass judgment on others for we all have a story; That no matter how small the task, you will do it your best and no matter how great the results, you remain forever humble; That you’re not selfish with your knowledge because then it’s worth nothing; That you are proud but not too proud to admit when you’ve mistaken; That you don’t have all the answers but are always willing to learn; That you don’t act self-righteous but treat everyone equal; That you assist others in need and expect no compensation; That you respect yourself and therefore are respected in return.
Let it be said about you, and may you say it about yourself.
