People In Our Lives

People come and go in our lives Leaving an indelible mark on our very souls Some tread softly, carefully Easing their way into our hearts While others seem to just appear From heaven above as angels Staying just for a season As if to simply help us through Our darkest moments Some will stay with you for a lifetime And others will leave as quickly as they came No matter the meaning or length Of their presence in your world Each and every human being To trespass through the murky waters Alongside you has a purpose, a meaning Like a beautiful work of art - Every brush stroke or pen stroke contributes To the creation of the finished piece That is how every individual that enters into our realm Helps to form and create the uniqueness That is our lives Thank you for being part of my existence Even if only for a brief time or season Your very presence has helped shape The masterpiece that is my life I would not be who I am without you
