Heart and soul
reaching forward.
Words filling
pages.
Ideas moving
nonstop.
Connecting hearts
with souls.
Raising questions
inspiring thinkers
to move beyond
comfort zones.
To explore,
to wander
and pursue
dreams.
To speak
the truth
of ancestors
and those
who will
guide us
towards
a future
where we
can dream
and believe
that hope
and tomorrow
are always
possible.
Amen.
