Edify existence
Offer graciousness and mercy to the man
Fraught with cancer
To the woman who works into the wee night
Give spoken praise freely to those unheard, unseen
Applaud the devoted for they are our backbone
Share hope as if the blind might see in our night
Encouragement lights paths making the unknown known
Inspiration moves humanity as the waters move the earth
Affirmations build a bridge to the possible
Praise the worthiness of those wrapped in worthlessness
Lift the lowly, the downtrodden, the afflicted
In all these deeds may goodness and mercy follow you
May you inherit your words
