Besides Love and Its Fortitude

We long for arms to hug us when nobody is willing to give up a minute of their invaluable time; a consoling embrace, a sympathetic look can bring much empathy to our tears and replace what others took from us having stripped us of all pride, but not of the unceasing will to rise! Besides love and its fortitude, everything else appears small; we must declare it to all and it will change hearts, lifting them to another altitude... becoming floating balloons! We learned from mother those incredible strengths to confront life's strifes and they became instincts protecting our inheritance, guiding us with prudence; the older we got, the grayer we saw the strands of our hair. Besides love and its fortitude, glory and power are the aspirations of plebeians who weren't born to govern others and feed their ego with conceivable anger: knocking down everybody standing in their way, woe to the one rebelling, not complying with their rules of disdained platitude; and certainly, death can be a sure thing as his fear.
