The Human Spirit

I’ve witnessed the human spirit.
Again and again, I’ve stumbled into this beautiful reason to live.

The powerful lyrics in songs.
The unassuming everyday heroes in movies.

The unbelievable stories of kindness you read in the news.
The unwavering commitment of someone who has made a promise.

The innocence of a child with only joy and thanks to give.
The sacrifice of a parent with only love and time to give.

The person who does so much while having so little.
The person who forgives even when injustice is done upon them.

The genuine person who puts others before themselves.
The person who does what is right regardless of consequences.

In history.
In stories.
In media.
In neighbours.
In friends.
In family.
In the week.

I’ve constantly witnessed and experienced the overwhelming beauty of the human spirit.
All I did was opened my eyes and my heart.
