Notes About The Poem

May Your Halo Never Lose It's Heavenly Glow

If you derive immense satisfaction
          casting pearls of wisdom to educate
            and enlighten impressionable minds.

             Or gluing broken people together.
               Or giving some of your joy to the crestfallen.
                Or shining your scintillating light on people
                 wide awake yet only see darkness.

                 Or being a Shepherd to a lost flock looking for
                 their way out of the labyrinthine maze of life.
                Or being unapologetically proud of who you are;
                inside out, warts and all.

               Take a bow, hold your head very high,
             and may your halo never lose
           it's heavenly glow!
