Die
Karen Lee Stradford
If I die today,
just know that I loved you,
myself
the chance to wake up
every day
excited to smile.
You inspired me
to keep smiling,
be confident
push harder,
reach to the heavens.
Speak up.
Ask questions.
Never accept no
as a final answer.
Great things are possible
because of you.
