HUMAN SPIRIT
I have seen and I have known
The human spirit
And its ability to survive
And to thrive
I have seen great resilience
And incredible fortitude
In ordinary people
The desire for freedom
And the thirst for joy
For connection and for love
Is an unstoppable power
That drives humanity
Let us not talk at this hour
Of the insults that plague us
But let us talk about the capacity we have
To grow, to care, to survive, to love
To connect, to build, to heal and to wonder
If we spend our time focusing on what is wrong
We will not have the space to celebrate
What is so right with us.
