Advice For Living

Don’t let your tears
Fall on empty ground,
Don’t let your cries
Fall on deaf ears,
Don’t let your signs of anguish
Fall on blind eyes.

Don’t cower in the shadows
With your soul full of darkness,
But stand tall in the sun,
Don’t keep your hands by your side,
But reach out to touch those who are beside you,
Don’t crawl on your knees alone
When you can stand by a whole nation
Of people just like you.
