If I Had My Drothers

The brave man or woman, like sunshine, speaks his/her truth.
The get-a-alongs, say nothing new, afraid to rock the boat.

It takes all kinds to make the world work.
I’d like much more courage, than seeing others going through life 
with a insensitive smirk.

I cannot plant the love of being a sparkler for life in anyone’s heart.
More unwilling to love you, and with ice cold hearts, soon depart!

We can only love, Pangie. Everyone is on their own path, and the lessons come early for some and late for others. We should love ourselves for who we are authentically and then loving others just happens. Smiles and Blessings my friend, Bill

Hi Pangie; true, you really cannot change the heart of others easily...sometimes not at all, most changes coming only after a person discovers the truth of his/her own heart. The best we can do is love them (sometimes from afar, the pain of closeness too much to bear)...not always easy I know. Have a lovely Christmas Day and Happy New Year my friend. Blessings to you and yours. Joe and Ila.
