What I am sharing here is a repost, I had it cued up to post here today, then I read the horrifying news from WAUKESHA, Wisconsin, USA so I knew it was time.
This division must stop, this hatred, this lack of respect for LIFE, and willingness to end it for nothing, must STOP!
Though my body and mind are tired,
Vexed by the condition of our world.
My spirit soars above the turmoil,
Untouched by all the strife.
I look at the crowded shores, and I
Cry for what I see.
Yet I know that it will all work out;
I have faith and trust in humanity.
I believe the love I feel in my heart, is
What you feel too, and together
We can spread the good;
That love will be our glue.
Hold yourselves ready,
To lend a helping hand.
Let Love and Kindness guide your steps,
As you tread across the Land.
You can do no better thing in life,
Than to Bear your Brothers Burdens;
Lighten the Loads you see
When someone is carrying
Too much.
Give your shoulder and your Ear, to
Lean upon and listen as best
You can.
There is always someone
Home,
When you pass them on
The street.
Do not pass them by,
Smile at each one you greet.
A smile is a powerful thing,
So use it generously.
