Holly Jamestone (San Diego, CA U.S.A.)
Winning Voice
Listen to the voice within you
Giving you advice
Listen to your energy
And never question twice
Listen to the praise of peers
But trust your inner strength
Listen to suggestions
Never questioning their length
Listen to the cheers for you
Applaud yourself as well
Listen to your inner voice
And all it has to tell
Listen as they call your name
And tell you of your winning
Listen to the rush you feel
It's only the beginning
Listen to your wisdom
And your guidance from within
Listen to your racing heart
As years ahead begin
Listen to the flashbacks
And the message of your ways
Listen to and cherish
All within your reach and gaze
