The Embodiment of Possibility




She said,
that Kofi
was
the Embodiment of Possibility.

A child
who had known some 
of the darkest 
and 
deepest
depths of human slavery. 


For him
to rise 
above it all, 

to overcome
the pain,

is the miracle. 


To forgive
a past,
that tried to break him.

How a child can know that love is stronger,
when adults don't want to know,
is bravery.

Forget your swords.
They are of no use to you,
where you are going. 

The war is over.

See your life with love,
and
have the heart
to see others with love.

No matter what they do or say.

Go beyond the faces,
and
become
the
Embodiment of Possibility.

If love has a price,
is it worth it?
