Being Poem by Andre Brown

We are like islands in the sea,
Separate on the surface, but connected by the deep,
We can never cross the ocean until we have the courage to lose sight of the shore,
When we let go of what we are we become much more,
The only person we are destined to become is the person we decide to be,
We are able to see further when we go as far as we can see,
We all have an innate purpose in life,
Obligated each day to do our best,
We are all spiritual beings having a human experience,
In the pursuit of happiness
