We are who we have

We are who we have,
Our own companion,
Walking with us in this life,
For there is no other…
 
We are our hope, our light,
Our center, our balance,
Walking on this earth,
In every step we take…
 
Our own life, authentic,
Is our light, our message,
Stay true to yourself,
Within your own person…

We are who we have
 
“Our own life has to be our message.”
