Dude! I don't read much poetry, but that is definitely the best I've read from modern times. It resonates deeply and comes across as very sincere. Definitely belongs in a compilation of some kind.
And also yes to everything! If Tom Hanks ever did anything positive, it was making us all stronger. All the fear that began with him and Kobe is forcing us to respond, and we are only getting stronger. It's unfortunate that everyone isn't on the same path, but we're making a difference and more of them will come.
Cheers!
