Lives Matter

All the lives from the past
                                  The stories they've shared,continue to last
                                  The wonderful ones that had a voice
                                  The silent ones that had no choice
                                  Each had a way of living their dream
                                  Line by line, scene by scene
                                  The imagination would continue to flow
                                  Back to happier times they would go
                                  Eyes sparkling with each new word
                                  Such a pleasure knowing they would be heard
                                  Perhaps just the gentle squeeze of the hand
                                  Your healing presence they understand
                                  Knowing their lives had meaning and a place
                                  Sharing their stories in their own space
                                  Whether through sound or silence it seemed so surreal 
                                  We can make a difference........
                                  That's how you make them feel
                                  So honor each one......give them your time
                                  This "Healing Presence" of yours and mine
