Suicide Prevention Day 2014

With being a strong advocate of promoting well being, To Write Love on Her Arms, and suicide prevention, today is the day where we come together and light a candle in the window to spread awareness that love is the greatest medicine and that there are people more than willing to help you... which can even lead to saving lives. Below is a poem I wrote in honor of this day, called "Love is the Ultimate Medicine"!

==========================

When our heartbeats become one
And the connections come to fruition,
We stand with a yellow ribbon over our hearts
With a brightly burning candle in the window…

As the flames are lit,
Which extinguish stigma, intolerance, and false judgments,
The world can beautify the light which always shine at the end of the tunnel
As the life-consuming desperate desires for the end melt away…

Prevention is the goal of awareness
And with love being the ultimate medicine,
It is time to share the antidote
And show everyone how yellow is the color of a joyful smiley face!
