Jacqui Broad - Esse Quam Verdi

Esse quam verdi -
to be, and not seen.
To be the strongest link,
that keeps the family together.
To be the teacher,
that teaches your own children.
To be the lover,
that cares when there is a need.
To be the saint,
that takes the time when nobody seems.
To be the friend,
that never judges, but understand.
To be the child,
that needs a guiding hand.
To be humble, and pray to the Lord.
Not to be seen like some golden award...
