Those who speak truth with gentle grace,
Focused on the little things they embrace.
Big picture thinkers, dreamers, and feelers,
Old souls and young spirits with depths that heal us.
Goofballs and companions who never impose,
Choosing what's right, not what's easy to suppose.
Listeners who understand, not just waiting to speak,
Creating a safe space, so vulnerability doesn't peak.
Quiet good-doers with hearts full of light,
Admitting wrong and embracing the fight.
Conscious of privilege, they strive for change,
Unafraid to take that last slice and exchange.
Friends who bring laughter that makes us soar,
Disconnecting from screens, craving something more.
Reminders that beauty still resides in our midst,
These precious souls keep our spirits blissed.
In a world obsessed with self or disregarding the rest,
The key is balance, aiming for our very best.
Nurture your health, your mind, and your wealth,
To give more to others and find happiness in self.
Control your anger, for words hold great power,
Trauma can be caused, even make sorrows tower.
Seek those who understand and keep you safe,
Guiding your heart in a world that can chafe.
Start now, building mental strength day by day,
Label emotions and handle them in a healthful way.
Replace unhealthy thoughts with patterns serene,
Take positive action, be a force to be seen.
Surrender bad habits that drain your mental might,
Embrace the strength within, the path will be bright.
For in the journey of self-growth and care,
You find joy and balance, a life beyond compare.
