Headlines
Headlines are not uplifting reading
They tell about murder and threats and hateful things
But headlines became headlines
Because they are about things that is not the norm
Love and care and good things are abound
So much so that they don’t make the headlines no more
So read the headlines, weep, and pray
But live a life that writes the common stories
Of love and gratitude, of care and hope
Beauty isn’t found in the headlines
It is found by the kindness and care bestowed upon
Those at the back of the lines
