PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You gave me lessons

in listening

to eloquent moves,

like those that are yours,

those which were always

more than words...



I heard your songs

when you did not sing

nor speak,

A tune somehow close to heart

teaching, lecturing, leading

fighting

With no swords...



Some day

in a land of hearts

empty of hatred,

and envy, and noise

You'll find me counting

how many moments I felt gratitude

to a lesson, to a smile,

to a hand that touched as far as Mars

to a course, a path,

that was always yours.

(After reading the below quotation, this poem automatically wrote itself. Courage exemplified is surely a lesson to learn from and cherish)



"We tend to make courage too dramatic. Courage is often doing

something simple, unpleasant, or boring again and again until we get

it down pat. People who are physically challenged and who have the

determination to get around their handicaps are great examples

because their courage makes them test their limits every day."



-- Dave Thomas, founder of Wendys
