I have seen both men great and not, do deeds of good,
I have seen entire communities come together
their soul purpose, helping their neighbor,
I know this is possible.

More may choose to be this way,
far away living lives unseen,
some may choose hope over fear,
courage over despair.

And even if confined by my lowest days and weakest thoughts,
if despair were to knock on my door to tell me it can't be.
Regardless of all that is said, all that I might see,
I know that I have the power for at least one more person to believe.
That one, I can always choose to be me.
