Tribute 2 Trice

“Tribute 2 Trice”

Tribute of sorts.
Something to read when you’re down and out,
And feeling misunderstood; hopefully my words can be uplifting.

Maybe it’s a way of saying that I see you!
Only acknowledging your strength like everyone else.
Coupled with the fact that you hold back, in order to please,
Or appease.

A tribute to you is long over due.

So whom is she,
Could it be “La Trice”?
The damsel with a side arm?
Can anyone define her?

Wide eyed and bushy tailed,
Your courage is certain.
What more must be proven?
What more has to be explained?

“You are a woman”!
“You are a mother”!
“You are a sister and a brother”!

Your accomplishments surpass what the eye beholds.
So by no means, let any one dictate your worth, and right!
Because your durability has been tried, and found stern.

“Trice”! Be willing to let go, and let GOD.
Be willing to stick your feet in the fire.
Be willing to love yourself, despite the of lack love from others. 
Above all be able to walk away when needed too.

But don’t take my word for it,
Because I’m just a spectator,
And you’re the main player.
It’s up to you to figure how full your glass is.
