Be proud of the heart you choose to bear
its quiet courage, its tender care.
Not every soul will feel its flame
or walk your path, or play your game.
Your kindness glows in unseen ways
a lantern lit for shadowed days.
Though some may mock or pass you by
your heart still soarsβit will not lie.
Do not fold it small, nor teach it fear
do not dim the love you carry here.
Let warmth and wonder lead your way
let mercy color every day.
So do not shrink, and do not hide
let love and courage be your guide.
For hearts like yours so rare, so free
are how the world learns how to be
