Title: What You Let Others Know

When you wake up every morning
And plaster a smile like that on your
face,
Then there must be a strength in you,
that is not in everyone.

When you can look in someone's eyes
everyday
And not be afraid to blink,
then there must be a truth in your
mind,
That not everyone knows.

When you can whisper and still be heard,
then there must be a song in you,
That is ready to be let out.

If you can quietly laugh
With every word you speak,
then there is a secret in you that is
well-kept.

If you can be absolutely sure of
something
without proof,
then there is a confidence in you that
cannot be destroyed.

If there is a spring in every step you take,
then there is an idea in your head that you are waiting
To tell the world about.

If there is a tear in your eye with every goodbye you say,
Then there is a love in you that will not be conqured.

When you make every possible attempt,
everyday,
then there is a will in you,
that won't be silenced.

If you can accept or understand failure,
then there is no doubt
That you are willing to change
For the better.

And

When you can wake up with a renewed hope
everyday,
Then you can challenge the world
In a way that others cannot.

This will certify that the above work is completely original
