Wild & Free Poem by Vanessa Dizon Alvarez

I hope you wander, bold and bright,
Chasing dreams in morning light.
I hope you taste the world's delight,
And dance beneath the stars at night.

I hope you speak your truth aloud,
Unshaken by the judging crowd.
Let no one dim the flame you bear—
They'll never know the magic there.

Trust yourself like tides the moon,
Rise and fall, then rise again soon.
Shine like stars in velvet skies,
Bloom like flowers that never hide.

Be brave, my friend, and fiercely true,
The world awaits the soul in you.
Live wild and free, without regret
Your heart holds dreams they haven't met.
