"Credo"
Here's another poem of the day! I read it less as a statement of what kind of person the speaker was, than as a call to action. This being Sunday and me being a Christian with a disability, I take that to mean a call to love those who struggle with disabilities of any kind, and help them love themselves.
Credo [written in the 1800s]
Alfred Kreymborg
I sing the will to love:
the will that carves the will to live,
the will that saps the will to hurt,
the will that kills the will to die;
the will that made and keeps you warm,
the will that points your eyes ahead,
the will that makes you give, not get,
a give and get that tell us what you are:
how much a god, how much a human.
I call on you to live the will to love.
