Dare to Kiss (The Maxwell Series Book 1) (35 page)

Who are you?
By Wendy Kupinewicz

Who are you? Wait, do you know?

Are you defined by where you go?

Or what you say, or wear, or be?

Or where you live or what you see?

Or what you drive or what you need?

Or what you want or what you read?

If you changed what’s at your core,

Would those who love you, love you more?

Would you love you differently?

Would you see the you they see?

Maybe not and maybe so.

Perhaps less is more, you know?

So…

Love those we love for love alone.

Increase our kindness, soften tone.

Be ourselves, and soldier on.

Keep living ‘til the life is gone.

Be proud of all you are and do.

I love you all for being YOU!

Wendy, thank you for allowing me to use this poem. There’s so much meaning to every word and every line. You’re an inspiration, a poet and a great friend.
