Todays message was inspired by a poem written by Miriam McCarthy called, WE WERE ROYALTY.


Long ago,long long ways away

WE WERE ROYALTY

Crowns bright in morning sun respected and loved were we.

Then darkness came

Swept all away

Chains for our names instead

Royalty, Authority,

Dignified  Prosperity

Smold'ring embers

In our hearts and our minds.

For no man can steal

The taproot within:

Not with chains,rope or lies

Arise Queens, your time has come.

Raise your eyes to the stars

Instead.

No more cast down

Put on your crown!

PICK IT UP ADORN YOUR HEAD!

Long ago is now,

Far away is here,

Your crown shines brightly too.

Go Queens ,Stand Tall

Proclaim your place.

ROYALTY LIVES IN YOU!
