Hear No More

I just don’t think 
I can hear the word bravery 
one
more 
time.
because it doesn’t apply to me.

Oh, I’m not sorry 
that I live free of
devastating health issues
financial ruin
wartorn homelands
fleeing from life threatening danger.

Realizing the dangers that others face
while trying to live their lives
seeing the abundance all around me
in grocery stores
so very many clothing stores
sidewalks, roads and electricity
running water and a warm home

So very much more ~
I am humbled and grateful.

“Love, forgiveness, modesty, humility and 

gratitude are most important virtues in life.”

~ P. Remes
