To Be Kind

I’m having trouble walking

Won’t anyone help me?

Maybe it’s for the better

And what’s ahead should not be

That won’t change things, will it?

I can see it and do what I can

I’m hoping not to be like those

Who just don’t give a damn

Oh no! Oh no!

Instead of walking I write

“The pen is mightier than the sword”

In that way I will fight

I will fight. I will fight

At age 82 hope to win

I’ll fight for all of us to be kind

Every he, she, her and him
