Poetry Friday: "On Days Like This" by Rudy Francisco

from Button Poetry 

My youngest daughter introduced me to Rudy Francisco.
And I ask you: What would we do without daughters? 
Without poets?
Without the beauty of the spoken word? 

"Being human is difficult. 
Being a good human is even harder. 
But it's still something I would like to accomplish." 
~ Rudy Francisco 


Here's Rudy Francisco, sharing "On Days Like This":

Karen, thanks for the Rudy Francisco inspiration! Yes to the inspiration from daughters and poets. I think of so many days when daughter conversations and poems have made my day:)

Oh, yes, thankful for daughters and poets and Rudy Francisco and Karen Edmisten and her shockingly clever titled blog today. Thanks for posting this spoken word poem, Karen.
