Be true to yourself

Hold to your dreams
as the years unfold.
Don't compromise
the ideals that you hold,

For on history's pages
are written the deeds
Of those who had courage
to live by their creeds,

Who held to their dreams
and at last achieved
The lofty goals in
which they believed.

So be true to yourself
in all that you do.
Reach for the stars and
your dreams will come true.
