Understanding

Understanding, a priceless gem, A virtue that we all should stem. To comprehend, to see with grace, And empathize with every face.

To listen without judgement's ear, And open up our hearts sincere. To bridge the gap of difference, And find the common ground's essence.

To see the world with empathy, And walk the paths of destiny. To understand the joys and pains, Of all who walk this mortal plain.

To reach beyond our own confines, And seek to know what's in their minds. To see the world with clear intent, And treat each other with respect.

Understanding, a gentle breeze, That brings us closer to our peace. A treasure that is always sought, And never is it sold or bought.

Let us strive to understand,

And live in harmony in this land.

For understanding is the key, To unlocking all humanity

People Issues

People issues, oh people issues, 

They come in all shapes and all sizes. 

Some are big and some are small, 

But they all can make us feel so small.

 

The way we talk, the things we say,

Can hurt someone in such a way, 

That scars may last for years to come, 

And we may never know what we've done.

 

We fight and argue, point and blame, 

And sometimes we forget why we came. 

Together, as one, we can achieve so much, 

But it takes understanding and a gentle touch.

 

We all have struggles, we all have pain, 

But it's important to remember to refrain, 

From judging or hurting those we meet, 

For we never know what they may be facing on the street.

 

So let's be kind, let's be fair, 

Let's show compassion and that we care. 

People issues, oh people issues, 

Can be resolved when we share tissues.

 

Let's work together, let's unite, 

And make this world a better sight. 

For people issues may come and go, 

But with love and kindness, we can grow.

Gratitude

With a grateful heart, I say

I'm thankful for each day

That brings me health and strength to bear

And all the blessings that I share.

I'm thankful for my loving family

Who stands by me, come what may

Their support and love, a constant beam

Bringing me joy, peace, and a peaceful dream.

My friends, oh what a treasure trove

Their laughter, wit, and joy I adore

Together, we create memories untold

Of laughter, love, and stories old.

A career that challenges and grows

And provides for all my earthly woes

I'm thankful for the opportunities

That help me fulfill my responsibilities.

And lastly, I'm grateful for provision

That keeps me fed, clothed, and in good condition

I give thanks for all that I possess

And pray for grace to do my best.
