Shoshana Olkin

I want to praise you 

For all you’ve done.

The actions you’ve taken 

To become who’ve you’ve become.

Everyday 

You take a path unknown,

Everyday 

You scavenge another stone. 

Without you, I feel,

I would never be me

Without you I know 

I would never have seen.

I Understand now

What true beauty can be,

I understand now

That life can be free.

So listen here now,

I have words of truth:

Be mindful of your actions.

Never overlook youth.

Be mindful of each moment

And time will respect you.

Create your own life

And always stay true.
