Even though you feel like an outcast
because of your preferences,
you are seen
Even though you feel like you’re all alone
despite being in a crowd,
you are seen
Even though you feel like you’ve lost sight
of who you are,
you are seen
Even if you are experiencing these feelings,
you are definitely one of a kind
and your family and friends
are there for you
and will never give up on you
because of who you truly are
For that in their eyes…
you are seen
You are where you’re supposed to be
You are a part of your family and friend’s world
You’re there in their universe to bring your heart,
to instill in them with love, support, guidance and hope
So be honored that you’ll accompany them
every step of the way of their life
whether you’re with them physically or in spirit
Words infused with hope,
inspire the desolate
Words infused with serenity,
bring peace to the restless
Words infused with creativity,
spur imagination
Words infused with hilarity,
fill the air with laughter
Words infused with affirmation,
comforts the lonely and help them to connect
But the greatest words are
the words that are infused with love
because it brings joy and happiness to all
We write to…
share love
We write to…
inspire hope
We write to…
educate minds
We write to…
spread laughter
We write to…
expand imagination
We write to live
so that we can see how
our words
can change the light
in our reader’s eyes
When you come from a
place of gratitude,
your life has more meaning
You are able
to share love more freely
and your capacity
to try and make a difference
in someone’s life
or even the world
becomes unselfishly endless
If you can live by this,
your life will be so simple
Without great love,
passion and commitment
writing would just be
a waste of one’s creativity
While you still have breath in your soul
don’t let the light
of your inner voice
diminish
Keep that spark alive
by creating words of
love, joy and inspiration
When you pour your
every blood, sweat and tears
into your craft of writing,
you have given it
what no other artist
could give it,
a piece of your soul
Once you do that
you can truly call it
a work of art
When you lose the ability to love,
your life has no value
So never lose sight of that trait
because that treasured ability
will help you to experience
all the world’s wonders and joys
It will flow endlessly through you
day after day
And in turn, you’ll be able
to spread warmth and happiness
to those in need.
If you are in tremendous pain,
going through hardships,
or just feeling like your
world’s going to end
do not despair
Hope is everywhere!
You just need
to have faith in yourself,
trust what your heart tells you,
lean on the support of loved ones
and look forward
with eyes wide open
Just simply do this and
you will find HOPE
