The Kindness Of An Outstretched Hand... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

The Kindness Of An Outstretched Hand...



Today I saw a woman
Scarred and broken
Stand up and face the world
How proud she stood
her scars a reminder
Her child her salvation
With chin held high
she told her story to complete strangers
A powerful moment
Her moment
Her past
Her truth
I felt so small
Her confession painful
She made me weep
She made me understand
That all it takes sometimes
Is the kindness of an outstretched hand
