Be Kind

 

I look at this world. It brings me to tears.

No changes, no choices, no power, no voice.

Our fears come true instead of our dreams.

Our words echo, reverberate, into a void.

 

I have a dream, just like that man,

the one they killed for speaking the truth.

I have a dream just like the one

that lead to a man being hung on a cross.

 

I wish the world was more like our dreams.

People could base all their actions on love.

I wish we could be all that we want.

I wish I could be all that I need.

 

I have nothing to offer, words don’t cast a spell.

Be kind to each other, remember this well.

 

 

The Carer

she slept with the dog when it was sick

providing warmth and constant care

she rescues birds and creatures lost

is kind in every thought and deed

cherished her mother to the end

gives and doesn’t count the cost

if heavens reward on earth was given

and all the world was fair and just

she’d be blessed and crowned in glory

a special rose would bear her name

but such grace is always silent

and books will never tell her tale
