John Hamilton Poet Acrostic

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.
