Dear Youth~ By Lorna Musonda

Dear youth,
remember you shine.

Celebrated and embraced,
just for being you,
divine.

A little kindness,
goes a long way.

Making the world brighter,
starting today.

Embrace your capabilities,
your unique flair.

Be yourself,

In a world of challenges,
inspire others anew.

Share your stories,
spread hope and light.

Dear youth,
may your spirit take flight.

By Lorna…
