"Rise Up"

To find ones self

We cannot base that image

Within the reflection of another being

We cannot add up all the broken to make us whole

Put your hand to your heart

Feel the pulse...

Life lives there

Self hate is too heavy of a burden to carry with you...always...

Let it go...

We are all travelers upon the same path

Pay attention...

Please...

Rise up

Offer a helping hand to those who may be quietly reaching

For it only takes a moment to ask, “Are you OK?”

Mind your actions

Take choice in words

If all that you can do

Is all that you can do

Then do it...

It will honor the place you stand

For life...

For those we love...

For your fellow man.
