Forgiveness
It’s what allows us to move on
To keep loving those who mess up
To help us let go

Love
It’s what gets us through the day
It’s what makes us happy
Reassures us that magic is real

Courage
It’s what allows us to do what seems to be impossible
Makes us seem strong
Be daring

Elements
They explain us
Some are good and some are bad
But they make us who we are
