Being Human

B lessed and beautiful are we humans E xhaling and inhaling life sustaining air I gniting the fire and inspiring one another N ever giving in to negative thoughts or emotions G iving and receiving love, thus transmitting life H appiness is attained through humble acts of U nexpected giving, altruistically helping others M ake their way successful in this life, A lways remembering we are clay in the Potters hands N ever trusting in our own treacherous hearts. Brian Strands contest June 28,2016 Acrostic form
