7 ingredrients for Compassion



1 teaspoon of warmth

2 cups of joy

3 tablespoons of smiles

4 jars of positivity

5 bottles of kindness

6 cans of understanding

7 bushels of love

Now mix it altogether and

the org has a poetry section?

Truth

It’s like the sharp edge of a sword cutting through the soul

Erupting emotions like a calm before the storm

Revealing the nakedness of its reality

Yet bears the fruit of peace

Just Because


Sometimes in life we encounter people that

are envious or bitter of our happiness or success

We may never know those reasons why

Could be their lack of inner peace and joy within their souls

They spend most of their time and energy

wishing they had what others were blessed with

instead of appreciating the blessings they already have

So they take their anger and discontent out on the rest

of the world.....just because

-----



DREAM

Live your dream

Live your passion

There is nothing

in this world

you cannot have

if you believe

you can make it happen

....Dream!

LOVE


Love is a powerful emotion.

It's the deepest part of our souls

and the center of our hearts.

It flows like a river through our veins.

An emotion so strong it holds relationships and

families together, yet at the same time, so powerful

it causes heartache and pain

Defining You


When they criticize you about your looks

Did they ask your permission to define you?

When they talk about the clothes you wear

Did they ask your permission to define you?

When they joke about your desire to be wealthy

Did they ask your permission to define you?

When they laugh about your passions and dreams

Did they ask your permission to define you?

If your answer is no, then let "them" know

you never gave them permission to define "You".

Black and White,

Black and White, 2 colors searching for space to claim

in an infinite universe as though there's

not enough room for one or the other

Injustice, struggle, distrust, confusion, power,

chaos, prejudice, fear of the unknown.

assumption,discrimination, disrespect, suspicion,

racism, anger, devastation, ignorance, violence and pain

and in between the Black and White lays the gray,

silently hoping that someday it can bring

understanding, love, respect and peace.

WE


Many have mocked the events of the past
but what does that say about them?
If you or I were born of that time
would we have done what others
have done by turning the other cheek
and choosing to play blind to what they
desired not to see?

We are them and they are us
We are present and future and
they are our history
But we must stand for what they could not do
and hold love in our hearts and not harbor hate
for those who lack compassion, love or empathy
We must be strong despite the long, hard road
through the obstacles of life that leads to the
true path of humanity.

We have to right the wrongs and heal the
wounds that still carry the pains of the past
Nurture our souls and minds, not steal one's spirit,
while embracing our differences and similiarities,
and we must pray that we can find a common bond
to reach that level of understanding that We"
are all part of this human race
