She said
Don’t take
The little moments
For granted
Because they
Are often the ones
That truly matter
Breathe in the
Fresh air
Take in a
Sunrise
Or sunset
And be sure
To dance
Whenever you
Feel the beat.
She said
Don’t ever
Let your inner child
Die
Because she’s so
Much a part of
You
And she
Shows you
How to enjoy
The precious
Moments
And she reminds
You
How to play.
She said
Don’t
Let hope
Die its a
One of our
Greatest gifts
So give it freely.
She said
Don’t forget
To laugh
Its like a healing balm
A medicine for
The soul.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

This poem was full of inspiration. ✨✨✨
Beautiful poem Michelle, and so much insight. I always told my kids, that when they grew up, they would find out the things that they remembered most fondly wouldn't have cost them a dime.
