I had one of my kiddos perform this poem in end of the year performances as possible pieces for next year. This poem, by Shane Koyczan, spoke VOLUMES to my heart.
SO many AH HA moments.
Find your voice. And it is so easy to lose sight of your voice. Or think that you don't have a voice in situations. Never forget that we ALWAYS have a voice.
Your voice is an art...
broken life, and broken heart, or broken joy, or broken song?
...make art with the pieces.
never forget that you are an artist
Apologize when you know that you are wrong. Imagine if everyone lived this motto in our world? If only our leaders could find this...
Apologize for wrongdoings...
Apologize for hurting someone.
If the cost to heal someone is only your pride, then apologize and be grateful that you received peace of heart and soul. You may not receive an apology...for hurts caused, for wounds given...
forgive and forget and move forward.
Allow that peace to come into your life and move onward.
They can wallow in their hate and angst, possible unchangeable, and you can move forward to life's adventures.
We are all still learning...just forgive and move forward.
Love is a vulnerability, not a weakness...the only way to be wealthy with it is to GIVE IT AWAY!
YES!!!!
My life's motto.
Love deeply.
Love whole.
Love above all else.
Try.
The tiniest dream that you try to make happen is worth more than the biggest dream you never attempt.
Be savagely THANKFUL. And GRATEFUL. And FULL.
And continuously in awe of all the power you possess.
You are alive.
Know that what you stand for is what you have chosen to stand against.
So Stand.
Amen.
