Should I Share My Thoughts

Dare I show others, what it is I see?
A path one may take, to set themselves free.
The words that I speak, should give them a clue,
Open a doorway for them to go through.

By offering others an explanation.
Each one can see their part of creation.
I will share with them the thoughts of my soul,
To them the beauty of Love will unfold.

Would I dare die with my song still unsung?
Like a tower’s bell that's never been rung.
Nay I say, for today I'll bare my soul.
The story I’ve been given must be told. 

A tapestry of words, I'll share with thee,
The essence of Truth that's been shared with me.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 7/19/2025 10:01:00 AM Hello Bill You’ve captured that moment of hesitation we all feel, should we dare? but you answer with such resolve: “Nay I say, for today I’ll bare my soul.” That, right there, is the heart of every honest writer and seeker. You share the essence of truth in a way that encourages others not only to listen but to find their own voice. What’s folded inside us deserves to be told. Keep ringing that bell your story adds real music to the world.
