What Will You Carry?









What will you carry?


What do you carry?

An open ear?

A care to listen?

An awareness of options?

A mind open to others’ solutions?


What do you carry?

An ear full of the past?

A worry of difference?

A fear of change?

A mind building a wall?


What do you carry?

A heart of distrust?

A push for your own?

A stance of defense?

A hand clutching a gun?


What do you carry

A heart full of love?

A push to forgive?

A stance of acceptance?

A hand out in welcome?


What do you carry?

Stepping into the future…

Walking with strangers…

Forging humanity’s legacy…

Walking the bridge to the possible?


Will we prepare the way,

Is it true what they say,

The future, of which

Each of us is an emissary,

Becomes and depends

On that which we carry?


With what you will carry?
