Mercy

​Lord have mercy
We can show mercy too
Expression of love through hardship
It will someday happen to you
Fulfilling the will of God
Spreading joy and peace around
Let go of the need for conflict
Silence can dampen the sound
Of harsh words, voices and screams
Selfish needs drive us apart
Let spirit be the guiding light
The source of your truest dreams
See the goodness in others
Share the goodness in yourself
Give respect even undeserved
Put heart on your sleeve not the shelf
Love is not a sign of weakness
Conflict is not a sign of strength
Live your best life in each moment
Quality is more important than length
Striving to be better than others
Doesn’t get you any further along
No satisfaction in endless comparing
Meaning and purpose are what make you strong
Compassion is a gift worth giving
Giving is the healing of life
Create harmony rather than hardship
Only love and mercy will overcome strife
