Be

Be

Be thankful,
For the pillow you put your head on,
Is in your room and not like,
The man who sleeps on the streets.

Be great-full,
For the meal you have eaten,
Was not from the dumpster,
Where the desperate must steal from,
To survive by filling their stomachs.

Be merciful,
That one day you too might slip and fall
And my need the help of someone
To save you

Be weary,
That you may not be tempted on account of pride
And find yourself trapped
In a bondage of what you may have perceived
Of initially of good and beneficial

Be excellent,
And do your best in everything,
For you have skills and talents,
Why not use it to your best and bless?

Be wise,
That you reveal the right thing to the right person,
The one who has evil intentions
Will use it to your disadvantage.

Be at peace,
For we have angels dedicated to watching over us,
Be sensitive to communicate to them,
And thank them for their duty.

Be confident,
Say what's on your mind and do it,
Ponder on your actions and when sure,
Launch your plans and never look back.

Be firm,
On what is good and the principles you stand for,
For this is what makes a man,
It is the scent produced from his beliefs.
