What is
Not important
Is how
Far you’ve
Come
What is
Very important
Is whom
You’ve touched
Along your
Way

WeAsPurses
We all enter
This world alone
Empty purses with
Empty hearts in
Which we then
Place fondness and
Affections and love
We also withdraw
From that purse
The exact same
Things donating them
To others and
Realizing that little
Remains for us
We stand huddled
And alone broken
Until at last
Someone tosses in
A few coins
A few more
And then many
It is not
How full the
Purse is that
Matters it simply
Matters that it’s
Empty for only
Then can it
Be filled again
Again and again
Looking (to Bean)
We bumped
Into the
Other while
Looking for
Something else
Or so
I had
Always thought
Until you
Told me
Years later
That you
Were looking
For me
And I
In turn
Were looking
For you
Courage (to Michelle)
Courage is
Simply the
Action of
Doing something
For others
Absent of
Your personal
Gain it
Is generous
And prone
To be
Seen by
Others as
Ludicrous that
Said shall
We not
Dance in
The rain
Tell the
Same old
Tired jokes
And set
Aside differences
And be
As courageous
As we
Were as
The children
We once
Were before
We lost
That innocence
Inspiration (to You)
Sometimes people
Find me
Inspirational which
I find
Odd for
Don’t they
Know that
My words
Are simply
A reflection
Of them
That in
Their assignment
Of inspiration
It is
They from
Whom I
Borrow neither
Quote or
Assign me
Such mantles
Shoulder them
Yourselves and
Be the
Marvelous people
That I
See you
To be
