Just Be Your Unique Self Poem by Dr John Celes

Each one is made by God uniquely,
For a special purpose known to Him alone;
Each one has talents, skills bestowed,
With which we work willingly and worthily.

Each one is like a different star in space,
That stays studded in time until God wants,
Serving the Maker in full obeisance,
Smiling and shining and shimmering life-long.

Each one must be just himself or herself
And expected to perform in conditions that come,
Emulating what is good in others but
Desisting to copy the evil around.

No flower or bud is like the next;
No beast or frond is all alike;
No man or woman is identical;
God knows your heart and part before you’re born and depart.
