Humankind



We humans may
Have come a long way
Toward going too far
But here we are
Being anyway
To become and
Come to understand

To seek and find
Above all the love
Of us to go on
From what is gone
Being in spite of
My yesterday
I leave it behind

To go ahead
As I come to be
Today instead
Of the nevermore
Of ever before
In the laughter
Of ever after

With a hopeful heart
An open mind
To find us in kind
Not apart a part
Of you and me
As we come to see
Ourselves as we

To be humankind
