The Challenge

I Love You 10

I ask we be mindful

More than we might have

Be filled with compassion

Take the less trodden path

Be patient and kind

Though our blood races so

Feel deep empathy

For those folks you don't know

Urge us to be better

Than what we have shown

Perhaps we have rued

At sharp barbs we have thrown

It's resisting what makes us

Ashamed and afraid

That demonstrates depth

It's how heroes are made

For the world spins in chaos

Leaving lives gravely shattered

How we care for the wounded

Is all that will matter

So from this moment forward

The challenge is set

Live the way that assures you

Will sleep free of regret
