July 22- "Our Best Need" By Susan Pearl

Try not to be afraid of people who are mean,
Because that is exactly the way they want it to be,
For if we are afraid of whatever is mean how can we trust kindness and learn to live a life that is free,
We all know when something hits us below the belt,
And we all know when those painful words or acts are felt,
So being afraid is a warning sign to us not to proceed,
Because knowing kindness and freedom will fulfill our best need.
