Shine Another Way

Oh, for meek and mild, to seek the child inside and hold his hand Help him not be shy and not to cry and say you understand Not all men must fight or pen with might to frighten fools away Now and then what’s right can bend the light to shine another way You must bear in mind and care to find the path that walks within Strength is yours to know and yours to show that yes, the mouse can win

Hi Mike, I love this clever poem. It is said that the meek and mild who have found the child in themselves will find a guiding hand, and be able to understand, but what about the strong who could be wrong, They must find a path, a strength that only each one of us alone, maybe in some other way, can know, and thus say yes, we can now grow. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
