You Make a Difference
our memories shared, showed me how struggles, shaped your life.
On days, I needed answers, your smile said, “Ok, let’s do erase your strife.”’
Upstairs or downstairs, you knew the perfect place to go to share.
My days became brighter, when you took time to ‘care’.
Always available and ready, we’d ‘go round the block’, finding new things to explore.
Kind words, strong words lovingly voiced took me inside your strong inner core.
Enamored with bits and pieces from your stories, I feel energy lifting my decline.
Although exchanges are short, over time your influence aligns my design.
Do you know how hearing grace on Sundays, resounds in me when someone sings?
Imagine a world united ‘in grace’, where anyone can accomplish many great things!
Favorite things I have heard… ‘Chocolate cake’ being one… sits at the top of your list!
Fun days don’t last forever! So each exit is always sealed with hugs and being kissed.
Enthralled with special moments, includes our silent times after an unknown fact!
Recall how silence lingers in odd times, as if an answer might not be exact?
Eternally, you’ll be known for your brand of simple love you always show.
Now, each day I decree: YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE! That’s a true fact that we do know!
Certainly, I thank God, every day - I am who I am and just one who’s been touched.
Every life is important. And you made my life count. It’s you who gave me much!
