Finding the Good — A Poem

Find a way

To find the good

In everything

So easy is it

To pick out the bad

To amplify the sad

To easily get mad

More challenge is required

To have thoughts inspired

By benevolence

Actions driven by consequence

Not just for you but for all

It takes a special call

From love, asking -

For open hearts and open minds

Love asks for us all to be kind

To take good care

To choose love over fear

To readily prepare

For a future of peace

Can you even imagine the relief?

That will come from us all

Just being

And seeing the truth

Of how our thoughts and feelings

Affect the other

Every action big or small

Has consequences for us all

So interconnected we are
