With a grateful heart

may wise words slip from my mouth

left to inspire – desire and encourage life

Words.. lasting, ingrained, haunting..

they take on a life of their own

Only to be buried but never forgotten..

expressions that fill you or kill you..

for the seeds are sprinkled

and syllables take root

wrapping around your mind finding their way to the heart & soul..

Tread gently – speak softly –

create the quiet, so you can hear the impact you leave behind

And

watch the indelible etchings you carve into their heart..

Beauty marks that cannot be removed..
