Be the Difference

HOW CAN PEOPLE MAKE YOU FEEL 
THIS WAY?
HOW ARE THEY CAPABLE OF TAKING 
YOUR BREATH IN LIFE?
HOW CAN YOU HURT WITH NO 
AFFLICTION?
HOW CAN SOMEONE STAND FOR 
SOME MUCH YET BE SO EMPTY?
HOW CAN SOMEONE HOLD THE 
WEIGHT OF THE WORLD AND BE SO 
HAPPY?
IT'S ALL QUITE POSSIBLY VERY 
SIMPLE???
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PURPOSE OF 
ALL THE SMALL THINGS.
SUNSHINE..RAIN..WIND..LAUGHTER.
.TEARS..LOVE..
HONESTY..HUMILITY..COMPASSION.
.A HELPING HAND OR A KIND WORD
HOPE..BELIEF..FAITH..BREATH..LIFE!!
!
SO RATIFY YOUR STRUGGLES...YOUR 
FIGHT...
THEN YOU WILL DEVELOP AND 
ENHANCE YOUR MORALS AND YOUR 
VALUES.
STAND FOR SOMETHING AND BE 
PROUD AND STRONG.
CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD 
AND BE HONORED AND ENERGIZED.
HAVE CONVICTION IN ALL YOU SAY 
AND DO
AND THEN YOU ALONE COULD 
BREATHE LIFE INTO SOMEONE 
WHOSE SOUL IS ON THE VERGE OF 
LOSING ITSELF!

A right nice kick in the you-know-what!! Valerie, I love you and what you've done here, now you're shifting gears here and telling the reader to make life matter, go live it, and be the difference in someone elses life! Good Job here, though you caught me off guard, not sure where we're going next!!! MC
