The Human Spirit

The Human Spirit

Look into my eyes
And you will see
Maybe just lies
But they can see deep

Feel my hands
They may not be rough
And feel like sand
But can return your touch

See my ears
You may think they are small
You may think they do not hear
But they listen to thingsseen and unseen; all

Listen to my words
You may think they are insane
And you may think I am too forward
even as I scream, wail, and wane

Feel my chest
You can’t feel the tightness
You can’t sense I'm Blessed
Because you can’t see my righteousness

Look at my feet
you may walk down any road
You may drive down any street
But you can’t navigate my soul

Then look at my whole being
You may not think I have merit
You may not think I am worth believing
And you may not think I have felt it

But I will not have contempt
& for eternity I will persist
& live to aid the unperceptive
For I have... the Human Spirit
