Sometimes we give a measure of who we are <br />to people who are strangers. <br />We give them friendship, <br />our courage to carry on <br />and our respect for who they are. <br />We never ask for anything in return, <br />we do it because that is who we are. <br />We hold up no flags or banners <br />to announce our presence <br />because that is who we are and always will be. <br /> <br /> <br />19 January 2010<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-we-are-12/
