United We Stand

United We Stand
It is difficult for any of us to understand where we stand
We would like to think we are important because we exist
as children, parents, partners, friends, employees or volunteers.

Some of us get labeled early on as trouble makers, rebels, free
thinkers, fast, slow, gentle, kind, loud or quiet. But we can change
after we evolve, grow, learn, take action, motivate and move.

There are times when a person gets to be a living angel.
But they just don’t understand why, because they are only
doing what they need and want to do to allow love light to shine.

When someone struggles back from an unplanned set back -
from an accident that put them in a very dark place - then with grace
they expand, expound, explode expected limitations - we smile.

We want to join the ride with them, knowing the trill of each new
turn, feeling the wind in our hair as they climb that seemingly
insurmountable mountain to plant the flag of success.

That is how inspiration works, sometimes. One candle flame gets
passed to light another candle and before you know it the room
is as bright as the sun on a summers day - that is the miracle.
