it's strange the paths our lives will follow
the steps our feet will carry...
the many moves, the odd events
the choices that we make.

what makes us do the things we do
why do we take such care
making sure that all is right
never knowing why we're there.

should we search our deepest thoughts
find first the drive within
or should we blindly lead our way
to unforeseen begins.  

tis really strange how lives can change
how fibers twist and turn
the way we think of yesterday
returns us back again.  

on and on our lives must go
never ending at hard times
but when the weary bones say stop
is when we sigh goodbyes.

why do we wait so long to tell
to tell the love we feel
expressed from heart to caring heart
so often time won’t heal

when just a simple thoughtful word
just a loving phrase or two
would mean so much to those that hear
and carry their hearts on through

on through the times that choices made
see lives still old but new
found in the heart with words of kind
that grow from year to year.

Whisper- your words flow so smoothly - without the slightest jolt - they are a true treasure to read and need I say (I do not!) the message is one we can all take to heart.
