The Arrow and the Song

The Arrow and the Song

I shot an arrow into the air,

It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

   ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Rather than hurt friends and family with negative and hurtful words, lift each other up in your words and actions as if a song.

Stop the hate.
