PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

May we be blessed to understand…

In trying to make our world great…

It does not take bravery…or fortitude…

or gallantry…to hate…

But in a world where intolerance,

hatred and hostility are combined…

sometimes in the face of all our differences

It takes courage…to be kind.

I am grateful what courage I possess….each and every day…

How even though I have no way of knowing what is around the bend…

with the courage I possess, 

I turn the corner anyway.

Today I’m grateful…

In this current world filled with prejudice hate and animosity…

for every human who has the courage, the pride and the bravery

to be the human they were created to be.

May we be blessed with the two courages in life

everyone should seek…

The courage to know when it’s time to listen…

and the courage to know when it’s time to speak.

May we never be afraid to raise our voice

when we see how injustice and inequity become blurred…

Loud enough so that not only our voice….

but those who do not have a voice…are heard.

Today I’m grateful for those who possess the courage of their convictions

whose courage is their cornerstone….

who are not afraid to stand up for what is right…

even if they have to stand alone.

May we be blessed to learn from the birds….

who for years and years have known…

how it is safe to fly together in a group…

and how it takes courage to fly alone…

Today I’m grateful for individual courage…

as the bravest among us have always known

It is easy to stand with a crowd..

but it takes courage to stand alone.

May we all be blessed with the courage of our convictions 

and may that courage be our cornerstone…

allowing us to stand up for what is right

even if that means we stand alone.
