and the fear-based advice
your neighbors are so willing to give you.

Perhaps this person will never
be disappointed or disillusioned;

people do when they have a dream to follow.

she will hear her heart, saying,
"What have you done with the miracles
that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"
