Rhonda

(poems go here) Children, by standers, marathon runners, and victims of Boston: You are strong. Measure your strength not by wounds or scares, Physically or mentally, But by blessings counted. You are strong. Not just in a sense of ability and power, But also comfort and faith. Even in a tragic event that has injured many bodies, Nothing can damage the courage that these heroes possess. You are strong. One never understands the significance of a positive outlook, Until one sees the inspiration that is illustrates. Tremendous spirits with great wisdom, All unite as one in a time of need. You are strong. To see such a positive energy forced into a community That was meant to be broken Is a great example of how bravery and courageousness Can empower people and show strength.
