Melding Minds and Hearts

Location

A bridge between people and the recesses of minds

Reaching into the depths of where they have been

Is the greatest need in a world filled with conflict

And in the midst of families is the place to begin

 

And soon families would live in extraordinary ways

With gentle encouraging words to share

Each day would bring new possibilities as they set out

With confidence for each and no need to compare

 

Moving on to work wonders from friend to friend

As they’d surely know something was anew

Connecting deeply in a multitude of ways

With no need for pretenses or what is untrue

 

Soon the change would expand into the world

Strangers glimpsing into another stranger’s eyes

Filling each other with empathy and ease

Lending ears to comfort and change lives

 

As everyone could read the heart of another

Knowing they too have felt the shame

Of not measuring up or making the mark

Feeling the weight of this universal pain

 

The masses, without exception, yearn for a purpose

As they walk this often confusing place

To leave their legacy before they go

And finish this winding impetuous race

 

Oh how the world could change with just a chance

And others could genuinely know

That they are never alone in their quest

For a meaningful life as they struggle and grow

 

This is what could usher in stupendous change

Creating a world that is edifying and true

And a people filled with grace and wonder

Embracing the fires another has walked through
