He listened;
He understood;
He befriended;
He cared.
All the courage he gave me,
By just being there,
Made me feel like
I wanted to live.
He gave me so much
Yet… had so little to give…
But his time.
I realized later
There was so much more.
I was indebted to that man
And… what’s more,
To experience the caring
of someone unknown
made me wonder.
Who else was out there alone?
Try something new and
you’ll feel like a bird,
locked in a box
closed with fear
not knowing
where the key is.
But just like the magic trick,
the key is inside the box.
Your courage is the key.

Wishing you a beautiful day.

When all are in trial,
When all are in denial,
Let me be the one
to share a smile.
Let me be the one
to share a dance.
Let it be an advance,
to be enhanced,
when all are weary,
let me be the one
to share thinking clearly,
to share being ever so cheery.
This is what I ask.
Because I don’t want us to wear a mask.
So let us join hand-in-hand, for this to be our task.

Lovely words by Autumn reminding us to always encourage and uplift each other.
May we be those willing to share a smile…even from a distance.
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend.
💙
Be kind to your soul
Value your mind and body
You’re one of a kind.

A pertinent reminder for all of us. Thank you, Carl, for a lovely haiku.
Wishing everyone a beautiful week.
