The Way



Life is a mystery,
a journey engulfing;
heart, mind and soul.
Let your labors be not in vain.
Leave love where
Your heart has left footprints,
For sweet are treasures
Of the heart.
Leave kind words,
For they can be a blessing
to a hurting soul.
Impart wisdom which
has been given unto you,
And help another along the way.
But mostly, leave a smile,
which can warm even the deepest
caverns of the soul.
