A million dollars waits in a silent room,
but the doorway narrows to a single line—
one soul, one breath, one step at a time,
no matter your mass in life.
Fortune doesn’t measure weight or worth,
only the steadiness of your stride,
the courage to move with patience
toward whatever abundance calls your name
but the doorway narrows to a single line—
one soul, one breath, one step at a time,
no matter your mass in life.
Fortune doesn’t measure weight or worth,
only the steadiness of your stride,
the courage to move with patience
toward whatever abundance calls your name

"I understand that not everyone has access to great healthcare, and that’s a real struggle. But I’m not the one to blame. This isn’t about money—it’s about a system that’s left too many behind. I care deeply, and I just want us to stop pointing fingers at each other and start fixing what’s broken.
