Each person

Tread gently...
on your dreams and through routines.

Treat each person gently...
without treading on their dreams or
hurting their hope
inadvertently or not...

I wish I was always so kind..
kind to know
kind enough to cry when its right
soft enough to touch but
stay silent

How I wish...
that I would never inadvertently hurt someone..
that I would always know better than to
slot an undeserving person in an ill-fitted box,
all along since I hate being slotted myself!

Lord please help me realize..
that at each moment..
with each thought..
I create a future for myself and for the World.

Let that thought be gentle
create beauty and faith
let it inspire wonder and be the reason
for smiles and play.
