Poetry Time

* This poem was written back in October ’07 and happens to be one of my favorite pieces published in our Playing In The Sandbox Of Words poetry book series. It was used to close the first book of poetry, and I felt it was important to include it in this book as well. It speaks of my passion to view every moment as a chance to leave a positive legacy.

In Our Midst

How can we justify this life?

With every breath that we take,

Can we influence this hard world?

Is there power in the hands, 

Of This boy or this girl?

There are heroes in our midst,

And you know that they exist,

They exist in you and I,

We are the heroes in our midst.

How can we waste away this life?

When every breath is a gift,

A chance to choose whatever fits,

To make some wrong right,

Or ease somebody’s plight.

How can we whine about this life?

When those who passed before had,

Passed through rougher roads and more.

And when looked at in this light,

The roads we travel are golden evermore.

How can claim we’re conscious?

When each breath releases anger,

Or some rotting hate within.

And are we making changes

For the world we’re living in? 

There are heroes in our midst,

And you know that they exist,

They exist in you and I,

We are the heroes in our midst.
