Dare to risk, dare to dream my friend, he said.
And if, in your risk and your dream you fall short...
Dare to pick up the pieces and try again.
For daring to try, you shall find a reward in itself.

Dare to trust, dare to care my friend, he said.
And, if in the process you feel hurt....
Have the courage to trust and care again.
For daring to trust, you shall find comfort and success.

Dare to try, dare to be different my friend, he said.
But if in your trying and your difference you feel ridicule,
Dare to rejoice in that difference. For it is that difference
Which shall set you free....to find your ultimate self.
