Masks
I am amazed that I'm alive
despite these maddening thunder storms.
Through all the trials, I survive
by morphing into many forms.
I can play the diplomat
in the roughest, toughest fights.
Fighters on the boxing mat
forget big pictures, blind by lights.
I can play the victim, blinded
by things that are unfair to me,
but it's not long 'til I'm reminded;
gratitude brings light to see.
I can play the hero, strength
of mind not muscle powers me
to help those who can't go the length
that I can reach so easily.
The next time you need help, just ask,
A hero waits for those in need.
The diplomat assigns the task,
and happy are the lives we lead.
