Every morning’s light

Offers opportunity

To leave dark behind

And live a brighter today

In love’s appreciation

Wonder Woman

She was quite the bully

She felt like a zero

She needed a hero

She felt alone

But whom she was hurting

Because she was so sad

From all the pain she had

Was just herself

And when she stopped picking

On others to feel good

She finally understood

She was ready

To learn about loving

Embracing forgiveness

Becoming a witness

To true healing

That you’re not quite sure of

Smile and accept with love

You’ve someone’s heart

Selfless Expression

She took a magic marker, red

Drew a heart on her forehead

And everywhere that she did go

She parted her bangs to show

Loving intentions she chose to spread
