To Becca

Not only doctors can heal
A writer too can bless a soul with motivation
Our readers are the souls sent to us to heal
No matter how small or voluminous your words
It could be someone's turning point


We are humans too
sometimes we want to drop the pen
and lie down on the beach, smelling the ocean
we want make more time for our responsibilities at home 
but we have readers waiting to be motivated back to their dreams
because just like doctors, writers too heal
and writing is a calling


And if you leave Becca...if you stop writing your beautiful words
you leave a void only you can fill
because every poet, writer, has their unique way of healing

Let's continue writing Becca
Let's continue healing
Above all let's continue motivating

With this i plead you to continue writing Becca
because it's a destiny.
