The crown that is placed on your head created with fine detail showing every story, memory and lesson that has come through by you
Showing your endurance and strength that a lot of people have questioned about you
Many people walk with their heads held low, forgetting the beauty of the world seen above
Questioning their beauty, talent and dignity, but whispers have come to them saying “we don’t give up”
One short glimpse could cause an epiphany of this serendipity
The life that was lost has now been renewed, a new journey being prevailed
But when your faith starts to wither and your arms get weak, just remember the God that placed that crown on your head to identify His Child
And when your faith gets weak and your joy starts to fade, remember who you are and where you come from
The challenges now are but only a lesson and blessing to come
So embrace it, and feel all of it
And when the calm gentle whisper comes back to answer your prayer, saying
“remember to keep your chin up, so your God-given crown does not fall”
Tilt your head up, and know who you are
