Linda Pickron Poet Quatrain

Spectacular

Spectacular

They insist we have to be better
When, in fact, we are better
We’re better than most 
Without having to work at it

We do not have to be our best
For the sake of others comforts
As our worse is our greatest
And our best is spectacular

Our ancestors planted the seeds
Faith, prosperity, and strength
Has grown inside us, abundantly
And has united us in love

And we are engulfed by the roots
Of spirituality and hope
We have flourished in unity
Our ancestors have never left us




In fact, they are depending on us
And we shall not cause worry
For we are them
And they were spectacular

While in the fields
Surrounded by hatred hearts
They were at their best
In spite of expectations

Through humility they hummed 
Sounds of greatness
And we are still listening 
Each word embedded in our hearts

We do not have to be wiser
And we won’t be invisible 
Because we are better than most 
Even at our worse

For we are spectacular.
