Just Be You Poem by Kaila George

Just Be You

Rating: 5.0


When one looks at history
We can either
Learn from the past
To adapt to the present
So you can
Face tomorrow's mysteries

The age old question
We all ask
Can we better ourselves?

To better oneself
You must be brave

To better oneself
You must know love

To better oneself
You must be strong

To better oneself
You must believe

To better oneself
You must learn to share

To better oneself
Just be you

After learning all
Of life's mysteries
One must discover
To be true to
Thine own self
Just be you

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is based upon a saying that was quoted in one of WD movies, which caught my attention and the one thing about this particular saying was so true, is that not how we reflect on our own lives. 'The past is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a present that is why it is a gift', makes you think don't it.
