Confidence

Confidence
As a child, I'd yell for
Mother and fathers attention.
"Look!!! see what I can do?"
Than mother would say
"No one can do that better than you!"
... Oh, The confidence they would build.
I was so proud of my achievement
And completely thrilled.
As an adult keep their praise in your heart,
Then you and confidence shall never part.
Yet, if mother and father did not give praise
Then generate your own in self-loving ways.
This in it's self may seem to take longer
Yet, achievements like this
Shall make you much stronger!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

'If you wish in this world to advance, Your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it And blow your own trumpet, Or, trust me, you haven't a chance.
