Gold

GOLD

A thousand strands of shimmering

luminous thread

More riches in my heart than I

Could ever spend

Rays from the sun

That tickle the crown on my head

See friend, I am golden, and I am finally ready to accept it! My power is nothing to be ashamed of, and even if it glows too bright for some who are more accustomed to lackluster hues

I am not ashamed.

My smile can light up a room so bright that you forget darkness ever existed.

I walk with pride because the streets are paved with gold and you cannot tell me any different.

I glow with the same golden magic that creates worlds, that births planets, that flows through you.

The stars have nothing on me when I bathe in the splendor of my own presence

And even a billion dollars cannot compare to my God given blessings

Because I am free from the days I would give myself bronze or silver

Now I am always first place, gold, the ultimate winner

My feet dance to a sacred rhythm that has always been and will always be

You cannot separate me from the hues of gold because I am royalty

Gold is me; Gold is what I embody

If you don’t know you better ask somebody

I want to glisten so supreme, it’s what I’m meant to do

I want to inspire my people, because you can too

Lift your head because you are majestic and grand

It starts with self-love, and then it can expand

Fire and lightning in an explosion of wonder

Inside you’ll find a brilliance than cannot be covered

I see the gold in you and it lights me up with a knowing that

we are limitless

we are free

we are powerful

we are everything we want to be

So let’s jump into the sky with a reckless abandon so strong that all doubts will melt away like frost on a car windshield

And there may be times, life makes you feel broken

But remember who you are, royalty, you are golden!
