Week 18 : Encourager

11/19/2017

The encourager is not always the strongest
Often they aren’t the best
Sometimes they’re in the background
Encouraging the rest
 
They celebrate the talent
Seen within their peers
Bursting with exultation
Or sharing in their tears
 
They’re the glue within the team
Pulling them all together
Crystalizing the goal
Validating the endeavor
 
The encourager waves the towel
Not to show surrender
 To encourage those on the field
To try and always remember
 
That the ones standing on the sidelines
are also part of the game
All the hands on the trophy
are one and all the same

Notes: Loretta Curtis got me thinking about this. Or should I say…she encouraged me to think about this! She is quite the encourager herself!!

    I started Monday Morning Poetry Group in April 2017 to share new poems I have written since I published my book of Poetry. .
