Kim Merryman Poet Acrostic

Being Human

Born to make a difference in this fast-paced world, we
Eagerly embrace the challenges that come our way.
Individuals, yet part of a collective whole,
Needing to connect and belong, thus recognizing and
Guarding the sanctity of life.

Humility and honesty are traits to be admired and,
Understanding and compassion are jewels of great worth.
Many are the choices we are faced with everyday,
Answering to our conscience, come what may;
Navigating through life's adventures, our God piloting the way.
