Weekday Poetry

What I wish I could be

Wise,
to answer with the conviction
that I've got nothing to hide

Strong enough to keep
my enemies out
and my friends in

Able to tell the Truth
when I'm all out of lies

Cunning enough to see past
charades and not fear them

Brave like my mother
Brave like my sister
Brave like the fathers of my generation
Brave like the hearts
that aren't Brave enough

to stop beating
