Finding life’s goodness

Whether great or small

Always filled with praise

Tasting its windfall

 

Finding lasting strength

Wherever it lies

Courage raining down

Silencing our cries

 

Finding peace and hope

Never stop sharing

Everyday people

Witnessing caring

 

Finding clear focus

Love shall overcome

With gentle actions

Blessing life’s outcome

 

Finding better ways

Around life’s gridlock

Perseverance wins

Changing up our walk

 

Finding new vision

With every song

Voices lifting up

Singing “come along”

 

Inspiration for this poem comes from the words of American writer, Alex Haley:  “Find the good, and praise it.”
