Say It by Donna Ashworth 'LIFE'
Never be afraid
To let someone know
If they brightened the room
They just walked into.
Or if something they said
Inspired you to change.
Never be embarrassed
To share a compliment with a stranger
And don’t ever fall into the trap of believing
That the people you love know that.
Say it.
Always say it.
Your words may land a little awkwardly at first
But in the dark of the night
Those seeds will plant themselves
Into someone’s mental garden
And start to germinate
Gather strength and bloom.
Sow seeds wherever you go.
There is nothing better you can do with your words
than plant a precious seed.
Hi, this post is completely random, but I thought of sharing my favorite poem as I finished responding to everyone in my inbox yesterday. And Lous? Your thoughtful messages have reminded me why I love this poem. I may not say it often as I have never been so vocal, but I wanted you to know how I am always grateful to all of you, and I know that I'll be regretful if I ever miss the opportunity to tell you this: the line of Ms. Rielle from Chapter 30, "Your kindness made me still stay, I wanted you to know how your kindness made someone stay," is actually created while I am reading your messages. You have inspired me to create that line, and I'm actually happy that I was able to share it now with all of you. I'll see you around, okay? Keep reading books, Lous.
Grateful, always,
Louise
