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
If you believe you you can believe others if you believe in truth you will be truthful to others
