A Poet’s Response To “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully”

This haiku came to me after reading “Houston Dad Handles Bully Beautifully“.

When facing evil 

Focusing fully on grace 

Always seek to grow 

Grace can accomplish many great things, as it requires courage to step forward in such a way.
