promotion

prepare for,   then enter a purpose

find the person, make the place

show the value, construct the trust

embrace the mind, fulfill the body 

accept the heat, take the pressure

of allll the secrets, let them all dissolve

endure the bad breaks, take the stress

embrace the disagreement

take the shame

break the pride 

enjoy the reconciliation

take the compliment

rebuild our ego  

truly share construction

dedicate the presence, stay the course

be one with this bedrock, this story of us

show yourself, one to overcome any disaster

just for the other and they will show us the same 

just for you and just because 

this is us, something precious

something worth an incredible effort

if you make the cut for us

this is promoted in life

this is what becomes 'us'

what makes humans more human

among the most precious of species

something only we can call together
