Humanity, I love you

for you bring me 

to my knees.

You've taught me to

be patient, kind,

but also 

how to breath.

When I started 

working with 

people who

have nothing and 

in conditions 

no one bears to think,

I found myself 

inspired by the 

way that people 

can rise again

after they sink.

Through my quest 

to help others regain

some stability 

along the fight 

for further rights,

I have seen a resilience 

in people that 

has made me see

that after a

descent into

darkness

there is 

In fact a light.
