VOICE by Kristi Kirby

Achievements are very few
One grand piece created was
My son Ryan
My ultimate teacher in life
He has a voice
He stands for many things
He is blunt and has no shame
He values himself and he
Loves me unconditionally
I believe in the youth of today
Every day counts
Find your voice
I’m finding mine through
Poetry
Or just my thoughts
I write down
We can rebuild
We can build a bridge of love
We can be the high with
Promises of hope
Choose a steady guide a safe one
No matter the shun
Cherish the blessings that come
In perils
We find our power foundation
With our voices
Be the change we desire
Be true in heart
Ride gracefully the
Currents of richness
That will come and lead us
To peace
All we have to do is listen
To our hearts and let go of our fears
Shed the tears and be ready
courageously
And speak
Our voices must be heard.
