When you’re ready to let go in life, when you’re ready to let your guard down and be open, then and only then are you in a position to be true to yourself.  I am certainly not saying this is easy and for someone like me who is very independent I have often struggled in the past to show my vulnerable side, only because I used to think of it as a weakness.  There has been a shift in my thinking recently and now I personally feel that showing my vulnerable side is a strength, I accept me for being me and nothing else. Take a risk in life, show your vulnerable side and bring down the brick wall.  This next poem is a reminder of just that.  

Bring Down the Brick Wall

Offer a helping hand today

Give out your love, in every way

Be kind and forgiving, gentle to all

You’ll see these actions, bring down the brick wall

To show that you, really care

When the bus is full, give up your chair

Help the old lady, across the street

Pay joy forward, to all that you meet

Give a warm hug, to the friend in need

It’s a wonderful feeling, when you do a good deed
