I see the obstacles before me, But am not discouraged. I hear the criticism of the people around me, But stand tall. I feel the pain of failure, But use it as a metaphor. I hold the hand of a child, And guide them down a happier road. I look into the eyes of a stranger, And use my faith to lift their spirit. I stare into my own eyes in the mirror, And push my self to do more. I look again, And still see the obstacles before me, But also feel the satisfaction of making a difference.
Reason for writing:
At that point in time I was thinking of ways that I've helped people of my short life, and I was inspired to recognize the ways that people have responded to my random acts of kindness and how it's shown me a new way to live!
