To Thine Own Self Be True

A Privilege, An Opportunity

It is a solemn endowment
It can cease at any moment
A numinous and sacred letter
Clay in the palms of the potter

Pulsating desire and determination
Passion, ambition and inspiration
Life of purpose; a labour of love
A song to compose, a stone to carve

Trailblazing pathfinder
No pause, no rewinder
Eternal identity and uniqueness
Indeed, possibilities are endless

Unaccompanied and solo
A cherub without the halo
One's time; one's life
He who persist will soon arrive

Absolutely irreplaceable
Utterly unrepeatable
Only one chance to be you
To thine own self be true
