Walking into a place you’ve never been

Being the only one in the group to say no

Knowing when to say yes

Knowing when to let go

Standing up when you see something

that’s wrong or unkind

Leveling the playing field

so that everyone had a chance to play

The courage in every day choices

The strength to be better

than you were the day before

Every day we get to choose

to stand up for what’s right,

or to turn our face away,

and pretend we didn’t see

How do we make this world a better place

for ourselves

and the generations to come?

By the small steps,

invisible daily battles,

with an audience of only your soul.
