Reflection

It always begin with a thought

But not just any random thought

A thought of purpose that brings unease

Of what is versus what could be

That leads to questions that beget more questions


It starts with a look, a smile

A recognition of knowing that look

Knowing what that person is thinking or feeling

As you've had those some thoughts and feelings, too


It's the act, that one small step that leads to action

That takes us out of our apathy and melancholy

Finding purpose and a renewed vision for life...of hope

A small bud blossoming forth


Truth and beauty ends when hope is lost

When you've given up without even a start

Feeling you'll fail anyway so why worry

Our doubts are traitors so don't give in

Fight the good fight, the only fight there is and be not in a hurry
