She Shows Up

She Shows Up

She wanted more
For herself
For others
For her planet

Wrestling with this feeling
To do more
To be more
To make the world a better place

She came to the conclusion
That the only way for her
To move forward
To achieve her desires
To really leave her mark
Planted
Forever

Was to Show Up
To do the work
To make the plan
To learn the new
Do what she can

She had to commit
She had to begin
Regret not an option
To not start was a sin

She would never get over
She would never feel good
Unless she showed up
And did what she could

There were no excuses
There were times when she cried
But in all of those moments
She knew that she tried

She stopped blaming others
And just moved along
Doing her duty
With her love and her song

For she was creating
A life of desires
It held all her dreams
It lit up her fire

And this gave momentum
For what she could give
And help all those people
To love and to live

The cycle was simple
To give and receive
To do so from beauty
Meant she’d get what she needed

She showed up as herself
She shared her own fears
Allowing freedom for all those
Bogged down with their tears

She quickly gained more
Of the tools she did need
To help in even more ways
The magical seed

So if you are feeling
The time to stand tall
Show up.  Share your story
For one and for all
