A Response To
"I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did but people will never
forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou
____________
As I journey in my life there are times,
when it is best people forget what I say;
so I leave my words behind, abandon them.
and things I did or didn't do, don't recall.
Put that all out of my mind and do not worry,
for I will endure if I can blank it all out;
but I know that I have a gift to caress a soul,
I can touch a heart and stroke an ego bright.
I can detect a sadness in a person suffering,
and so I hope, I will be remembered for my love.
