LETTERS TO DESTINY © 2012

Majestic it is to move ahead

With the respect of everyone spread!

To walk with head held high,

With dignity, firmly, no dread.

It’s not applause that measures worth,

But honor in each step we take,

Being true to what we believe,

Even when the path feels like a quake.

Majestic is to hold the truth,

In speech and actions ever clear,

And to earn the respect of all,

Without betraying the face we bear.

For those who walk with nobility

Need not seek great acclaim,

Respect is born naturally,

In the gaze of those who will retain.

Majestic is that subtle shine,

That seeks not to be adored,

But finds, in sincere respect,

The recognition that is stored.
