The Human Spirit

It is truly amazing the human spirit, Nothing in this world can come near it, It overcomes seemingly impossible tasks, Many a time no one asks. We see it happen over and over again, In children, as well as women and men, We give from our hearts and very souls, To help the needy reach common goals. Most recently it has been seen with Hurricane and Flood, People pulling together giving sweat and blood, In the past it was most visible by 9/11, With prayers and tears for those in heaven. There are only those that see crime and hate, And many say that for mankind it is far too late, But whether your perception is good or bad, This grateful note I wish to add. To all the men, women and children who when they hear, "This is impossible", "It just can't be done", or "Might as well just sit here", Rise up and find a way to do what people say can't be done, To save not only a million but even to save just ONE! I thank you all for your sacrifice and prayer, For you show the world that you do really care, And remember this, "That the Human Spirit can not die", For it lives on forever in each new baby's cry.
