We Are the Change

We can be the change that the world now needs
We should be the ones to plant kindness like a seed
Into the wounded so their hearts will not bleed
We must love the child when love is what they need

We can be the ones to show them right from wrong
By our own actions for them to reflect on
Our past reveals our flaws; but the past is gone
Our future is where our true greatness belongs

We must show that love is more than just a word
God is not dead is the message that must be heard
Show kindness, hope, faith, tolerance and freedom
These are the actions to get to God’s Kingdom

Beautifully expressed, Jerry... Kids watch us like hawks, picking up every signal we send, intentional or not. So, like you write, let's send our best!! Huzzah! :) gw

So true, actions speak much louder than words. Have a great day my friend.
