Shine - when you stumble and fall...GET BACK UP!
Shine- though the world tumbles towards hell and darkness
Shine - even when they do not acknowledge your contribution
Shine - when they belittle and try to make you feel small
Shine - when they disparage and label you distasteful
Shine - when they raise others above you when you deserve the prize
Shine - Because you are made unique, special and highly favored
Shine - even when no one else can see your light
Shine - to fill your soul with divine, heavenly glow
Shine - so the angels can glorify in your magnificence
Shine...Because you are alive with truth and grace
Shine - your smile a deterrent to the unkind, hope for the weary
SHINE - WELL- JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN
LIFT YOUR LANTERN HIGH. WHERE ALL CAN SEE IT
TRIUMPHANTLY SHINING BRIGHT.
ILLUMINATING!
Already winning.

And let the world again say AMEN TO THAT CUZ. great start to my da TY
Your writing beautifully transforms adversity into light. The repetition builds rhythm and emotional power, reinforcing the poem’s core message of self-worth and divine purpose.
Get it No! Fiery, passionate & encouraging! Go gurl! Thx for the anointed pep talk! 🫶🏾 God bless you sweetness!
I love the format. Each time I read the repeat. It's like I've fallen and you have used the word 'shine' to pick me up, each time. This is such an uplifting poem. The support we all need when we are down. When they raise others above you when you deserve the prize. YES I feel this line in my bones. Smile a deterrent to the unkind. Absolutely, we should always smile. We forget how powerful it is. Already winning. Lovely ending. Thank you for the boost of energy. And the motivation to keep going. Outstanding as always 🤗❤️🖤👌🏾👏🏾
