There Will Come a Day
There will come a day
when people remember a time
when thorns of selfishness
were topped with roses of kindness.
When bonds were strengthened
through thoughts and words,
not kisses or embraces.
When people became heroes,
their only superpower was that they cared.
When so much that we valued
abandoned us, like feathers in the wind,
and left us holding on to what really matters.
When we tired of fear, and swam for hope.
And hope whispered, that day will not be long,
for that time is today,
so smile, be kind, be good, be well.
Be strong.
