That Wonderful Thing About Us

Disbelief was the scorn of the unbelievers
who once derided and judged others;
they didn't love whoever disagreed,
never forgave and showed kindness...
unless they became similar in kind!

That wonderful thing about us
is that we don't hesitate or avoid to express
love and be kind in words and deeds;
does anyone regret being honest,
clearing the water after a horrible tempest
that brought redemption to their revengeful act? 

We don't expect a string of miracles,
often times conceited egos make us err,
separate good intentions from the bad ones,
estranging us from reality, listening to the roar
of destructive winds and not take cover;
why is wisdom not heeded when one in danger?

That wonderful thing about us
make us humble and more human, not feeling
alone under a night sky without moonlight or stars;
if darkness frightens, there's little hope for light:
pluck up the courage and gladly look forward morning,
it will come unexpectedly and will make you sing
restoring faith in yourself and other things that bring delight!
