Brave are those souls
that reach out...
There is a reason...
Old decisions made...
Can have long reaching
shadows
It is up to us to use
the light of learning
To surrender and grow
from the past
Even though we can see
the bad coming
Nothing can ever
prepare us for that moment
Those seconds that hold
us still
Till time is realized
and made
The throat swelling
ache of confusion...
Tears at the ready to
leap to the ground
Faster than the body
can fall
We as human beings
absorb all this
Hard times turn us in
Cold days cause us to
hold onto our hearts
Wrapping our lonely
souls in misplaced hope
We lose patience...
And forget to express
concern for another when we see the suffering
Our names should not be
just casual words spoken
We define our own worth
We are not the sum of
others wrong assumptions made
Regardless of age,
race, or status
Peace always begins
within
Devote yourself to that
care
Be passionately
generous
Discover the power
within from living authentically
Because we are our own
lifetime companion
Change does not start
to happen...
Until we are brave
enough
To be that change...
Together we shine
brighter
If we let the light in
and win
So take my hand now
For one day...
I may need yours.
