Understand - The 12th Good Word in the Good Words Project (Poem)

The 12th word in the series of "Good Words' given by a fellow Hubber - I pledge to write a poem for each good word she gives us each week. --- Thanks to Jo_Goldsmith's "Good Words" project.

Each week Jo Goldsmith gave us a word,

That her fellow Hubbers should learn and Understand

Not just it's meaning but to live by that word was her plan

Also help us grow as writers, humans and friends.

To understand is knowledge

Of the how, the why, the way

That we should live our lives

Each and every day

To understand is to know

When we see a grieving heart

We must seek to find a way

To help the healing start

When we understand

Just what went wrong?

It's that understanding

That will help to make us strong

We need to understand

What gives us strength?

So we can stand alone

And face our trials and tribulations ....on our own
