Virtues

Beautiful
I want to be a thing of beauty.
I want to make heads turn
mouths agape
and people stare with longing.

Confidant
I want to be full of confidence.
I want people to trust me
instinctively, unswervingly
and be able to live up to that trust.

Graceful
I want every action to be filled with grace
like a doe, a red, red rose,
gentle, dignified,
never a false step or stumble.

Faithful
May my life be defined by faith.
Faith in my Lord, faith in myself.
Inspiring faith,
never forgetting, never doubtful.
