Bring It Home

Evil certainly plagues our world Crossing boundaries, on the attack Unacceptable actions against humanity There’s no reason to stay silent There’s no reason to submit There’s no reason, no reason… To turn our backs on values To dampen love that we all need Be willing to sacrifice Spread love wherever you can Build bridges with hearts Hand another a life preserver Give empathy where cries are heard Discover wisdom within yourself Be guided by light that starts in your soul To shine on all the miles you travel For you have a purpose… And you have the will to choose Be the light of a city in darkness Like the stars across the midnight sky Sparkle like the sun on waves in the ocean Move with the tides… Turn rocks with the currents until they are smooth Reach the warmth of the shore and bring it home Heidi Sands 5/14/22

It's a long road 'home,' as you've expressed so well, Heidi. Things didn't get this messed up overnight, and they won't get straightened out quickly either! Kudos, Gershon

The part that I found inspiring, Heidi: Be the light of a city in darkness Like the stars across the midnight sky Sparkle like the sun on waves in the ocean Move with the tides…elegant!
