My Superpower

I have little control over the world's travesties I have power over little more than my thoughts my words my actions so put away that sharp tongue so as to never sting or slash best choose to be kind so as never to regret the smile not given the kind word or compliment not granted preferring to love wholeheartedly and spread kindness as best I can AP: 1st place 2021, 3rd place 2021, Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on March 4, 2020

I agree best to be kind and not offend although it is easy to do nicely penned!

This sounds like the main character in the movie 'Harvey.' I've always wanted to be that sort of person but it's tough. Wonderful poem. Have a great day my friend.

I'll keep an eye out for this movie, David. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was as easy as deciding this is how we are going to live from now one! Thanks for your lovely visit and comment.
