Being Human

B eing able to recognize true beauty,
E ven in the midst of pure evil,
I s being able to perceive perfection in a way only humans can.
N ever doubting the fact that your best friend will make you laugh, or 
G oing the extra mile for someone in need,  proves we are 

H uman. Believing in something more, holding faith and praying 
U nder the stars at night as we look up to the sky, that 
M akes us human.  So explore life my friend; love, laugh, imagine, 
A nd trust in the process of being alive.
N ever doubt the human spirit, for it is an amazing thing to behold.
