LETTERS TO DESTINY © 2012

All strong men have the obligation

To feel as their own the children of others,

For true strength is not just physical,

But lies in the capacity to embrace without fears.

He who is truly strong

Knows that the world is a great family,

And that the children of others are also his,

Deserving of love, care, and sharing.

It is in the act of protecting the vulnerable

That strength reveals itself in its fullness,

For those who embrace the children of others

Cultivate the purest form of virtue.

To be strong is to extend a hand,

To be the pillar in times of need,

And, with an open heart,

To care for humanity with dignity.

Thus, strong men carry the mission

To love and guide with a fraternal spirit,

For in caring for the children of the world

Is found the reflection of eternal love.
