I AM WHO GOD SAYS I AM

Regal, Royal, an African prince I am.
I am crowned with content, not jewels.
I embody righteousness, wisdom, and noble character.
I am tender as a lamb but fierce as a lion.
Diligent, but strong like an ox.
I am a force to be reckoned with.
I am a masterpiece, and you are too.
 
So, let's turn the pages of this book and roar.

LET'S GO!
