Open Heart Series #022416-455
The tapestry of our souls Woven over our lifetime Tells a story no outside Perspective ever could. No identity based on looks, Job, social status or wealth Could depict who we are. Threads that root in our heart Is what I want to be known for. It’s the words I want to last Beyond my time on earth. Words dissipate where feelings endure. Allow someone to feel your heart, To see your whimsical tapestry And the rare beauty it holds. They will never know the true you Without feeling every thread. Share what’s in your heart, What is on your heart, And what is weighing it down. When you one day leave, The souls you touched Will spread your legacy of love Allowing your spirt to live on. The legacy you leave Is up to your heart. No one will remember Anything you were or What you possessed on paper. No, they will remember How you made them feel, In the lost moments, In the weak moments, In the joyous moments And the in between moments. You may have a job, But if you tirelessly bleed love Onto the souls of others You have fulfilled your God given duty, your gift from above. Spread your seeds of love. Then watch them sprout.
