The Tough and Tender You

Encouraging poem that celebrates your unique blend of toughness and sensitivity, and inspires you to spread love and compassion

In the ring of life, you stand so tall, A warrior's heart, you face it all. With strength that roars like a lion's might, Yet a gentle soul, soft as moonlight.

You tackle challenges with a fierce embrace, But kindness and care are never out of place. A tough exterior, but inside you know, A sensitive heart, where love can grow.

You laugh in the face of life's wild ride, But tears may fall when feelings collide. A paradox, a blend so rare, Tough and tender, beyond compare.

So here's to you, in all your glory, A living poem, a unique story. For being you, both strong and kind, A heart of gold, a brilliant mind.

Embrace your strength, let love shine through, Teach compassion in all you do. For in your heart, there's a light so bright, Guiding others with love's pure light.

Author's Note

I hope this poem encourages you and reminds you of your incredible ability to love and teach compassion.

If more people thought & behaved along these lines, I have no doubt at all, the world would feel a safer and be a whole lot happier place .. I think its selflessness that's missing and compassion that's key .. What a splendid poem & with a beautiful message for all of us to heed and try to aspire to .. Neville 💛👍
