"The Strength of Character"
The rhyme sticks
and stones become
in grained in the essence of the heart,
body
and steps of the human being.
In the silence of the
response there
emerges the character.
Whose character? Yours?
Mine? Whose?
It is the ideal character that
strives to the
invisible, invincible power of
truth of heart,
mind, motivation and action.
It is the exquisite
powers that deepens,
evolves, widens, explores
in a land of a
cesspool of attacks.
Gentle power that is
so soft that it is
mistaken for ignorance.
But it rebounds in loving
wisdom
of the true just of life.
a
poem by Dietra Reid
