To Be

To bring color to a life
like paint to a canvas
To be the one to show the way
when the world has no direction
To understand someone's been hurt
when they've been hurting others
To believe a love of "things"
leaves less room for love itself
To be the arms to fall upon
anytime someone has fallen
To see the bigger picture
To not be afraid to ask
and not hesitate to answer
To know of the harder path
and walk it anyway
To know when to teach
and when to learn
When to be powerful
and when to empower
To willingly re-evaluate and grow
To grow up while already being grown up
To be present, right now
To be who we are meant
To Be
