I Chose to Sculpt My Life by Michael I rose from death to find my body whole. Twice within my days upon this orb it has been so. For some, there is no second chance and I got two. The time not yet, I chose to sculpt my life. Chip by painful chip I watched as pieces fell, and watch today, the process still not done. My quest is that of character and honest words, to offer healing to those without hope. A father to the little ones, a good example be and peaceful hum to soothe the hearts of those in misery. I’m but one man, if all would help, put selfishness aside, more beauty do I think they’d often see. For holding hands of those that hurt I’ve seen the smiles begin, the healing of the forlorn hearts, the hope renewed. Today I’ll take another stranger’s hand. Proust- |
