THE CHALLENGE

OF BEING DIFFERENT

Daring to stand alone

In a sea of sameness

Taking the challenge

Of being different

Standing proud and tall

Growth not stunted

by mediocrity

Flourishing amidst

A colourless world

Reaching for the heavens

Like a ray of sunshine

In a drab world

Spreading joy

And inspiration

Lifting the spirit

Splashing colour on a

black and white tapestry

A promise of renewed life

In a jaded world

At one with the future

Gently nurture yourself

Let love surround you

You’re a child of the universe

Enjoy being you

You’ll never stand alone.
