Guest post by Pat Edwards

So, I decide
to go for a morning walk,
but when I step outside
there is a little girl crying on the corner
who will ruin my morning walk.

So I just decide
to cross the street and
speed up to get away.

Then the thought comes,
"Is this what I want?"
"Am I who I want to be?"
and I stop
and I decide to turn back
and I see the little girl walking toward the school
and I see the gift she just gave me and
I decide
to feel
gratitude.

The Avatar Journal would like to thank
Pat for sharing her poem.
