Be who you are

Be what you are

Be when you are

Be where you are

Be why you are

Be how you are

Yourself

a valuable, unique person

existing in the now

celebrating your place in the world

just because you are

you

    Thank you for a lovely poem. I will be using it in February for the invocation at The Rotary Club of La Conner, Washington State.

    • I had never heard of La Conner, so of course I had to investigate where in WA it is. My Rotary district is partly in WA (5060, t From Prosser, WA in the south and 500 miles up Hwy 97 north to Revelstoke, BC). La Conner looks like a beautiful spot! My greetings to your club.

  3. I love this! I added a little in the end regarding “service about self.” I will use it tomorrow for the Key Biscayne Rotary in Key Biscayne, FL.
