It's Up To You Poem by Saviour Otubelu

The stars number in their thousands
The jewels and precious stones too
Flowers and trees, how plentiful!
But you- there is only one you

You’re the thunder rumbling in the sky
You’re a wave that sweeps over tall trees
Look inwards- see the sparkling star
Soaring like an eagle in the breeze

A tree begins with a seed
An ocean begins with a drop
A forest begins with a tree
A change could begin with you

Whenever you feel worthless and blue
There is something to remember-
Rare treasures are always valued
You are worth far more than you think

Awake from your sleep; get to your feet
The moment has come to spark the dream
Grab hold of your hurricane lamp
And take a bold step to light the world
