Subject: Can You Believe Me?

What if I were to tell you
that the world could never be the same without you?
What if you believed that you were truly priceless?

And what if all the years you’ve lived
were rolled up in a purple ball
and given to a newborn child
who’d grow one day and say to you . . .
“Teach me . . . “
Do you think your life holds lessons to be learned?

And when you sift through the stones and pebbles
you’ve stumbled on,
do you see the gold dust and the crystals too?

What if I were to tell you that you shine,
that when you enter a room and smile . . . .the lights go on?
Can you believe me . . . that you are loved and forgiven
and that you will always be remembered
for the good you have done,
that which you so easily forget?

Would these things make a difference?
Would they help you to breathe in the moments
one by one
that you . . . like all of us . . . take for granted?
And what is life anyway, but a gift . . . .
a pure gift . . .
We can look up and see the stars,
We can dream . . . . we can love.
We can truly live forever . . .
right now.

I seem to have missed this one the first time around, and I'm sorry, but I'm glad those well-deserved awards brought it back so I could catch it.

Lovely!
