We are the example to ourselves
Our mistakes talk, our soul rebels
Tugging and taking us where we should go
To learn our lessons
Sprout and grow

We are the teachers of our own hearts
Students to all others, the gifts they impart
Guiding and taking us brilliantly in
The beauty of our splendid kin

Being the taskmaster of our lives
Inspires deeply the will to survive
Never any blame to cause someone
We are the reason for what is done

Thoughts personified in all we do
Actions make our living see-through
Clear as crystal, there we are
The ripple effect spreads very far
