Dedicated to Cheri, my gentle friend
D
To all the Wounded…YOU are loved
Ignore the naysayers who defy you, peaceful dove
Your beauty unfolds with your gentle walk
You give voice to those who cannot talk
Honoring your voice within
Is the strength you need to never give-in
Remember…there are others who share your vision
Remember…there are others who do not want division
Remember…there are others who walk beside you
Remember…there are others who struggle too
Remember…we are there with you
Remember…we need your joy too
Remember…the Truth that set you on your path
Remember…your steps of hope are important on the footpath
Remember…you need to be your own best friend
Remember…loving yourself is as important in the end
Remember…you are the gentle wind in the grass
Remember…you are the sparkle in the sassafras
Remember…you are the softness of the morning light
Remember…you are the twinkle in the starlight
Remember…you are the cooing in our hearts sung by the Mourning Doves
Remember…you are never without our love
Remember…you are freshness of the water upon our face
Remember…your tears of strength are what gives us grace
Remember…we need your voice
Remember…always, for yourself and others, make the loving choice
Such a beautiful poem. There are so many wounded in our world. Truly moving.

I wish for so much better, don’t know how to make it happen. If I could make a difference, I would.
So, so many hours I cried alone, teen and onward. Alone, alone. I wish better for others.
