Street Roots • June 23-29, 2017 Poetry Page 13 Kindness by Ron Sanford Random acts of kindness” is a cliche phrase Helping another person is no accident Sometimes the results are not immediate A word to the wise, good advice, directions Life sentences by j.mccurdy If you can lend a hand, if you have an ear to hear Join the human race, good job! You rock! You 11 have another gold star next to your name In the eternal state But for now paradise can wait. I still have a pulse, I still have a mission, I still have a lot to give. Just Getting Started by Jaison When I got to Portland it was only the start. I made some new friends and we made some art Patterns and designs with a machine I sew Friends and family in a place I did not know A future I could not have planned Pen and paper I keep at hand While everyday I proudly stand Success is the best revenge Victory loves preparation. No matter how many times I get knocked down I will always pick myself back up Today I have words. Honestly I think the bars we let our memories create Are a far more effective cell Than prisons ever housed How do you share health?
