Seen
People need to feel heard
So I vow to listen more.
People need to be seen
So I vow to see more.
Our eyes are incredible tools
Should we choose to let them be.
I confess that sometimes
I turn from the light and
I close them to avoid the darkness.
But if you open them in the darkest of times
Our eyes let the light in
Until what was once unclear
Becomes apparent.
And we can see once again
What is true and right.
I vow to have the courage
To let that light in long enough
To allow me to go forth in the darkness
And continue that journey.

4 年Thanks for sharing this Kevin D. Rooney as it is hard for many of us to articulate what we feel / know what to say / worry about saying it wrong. But as you said - we have to have the courage.....
