Let not a day go bye without being nice to someone,
Smile at a stranger and watch their face light up,
You never know just how lonely they might be
Or how good or bad their day might have been.
Pay an unexpected compliment to a friend
And thank them for being there.
Write a note of appreciation to your spouse or child
And watch them light up inside.
Hand a flower to an elderly person and see
The smile it will bring upon their face.
You never quite know just how long it will be
Before they go to their resting place.
Call your parents, tell them how much you care, and share your life with them.
Tell them you love them and you miss them so.
Just wait and see what it does to them, they'll be happy to know.
Reach out your arms and hug someone in need,
It may not mend all their sorrows but it might help for tomorrow.
So with each passing day,
Light up someone's life.
For these little gestures can help with some daily strife’s,
There may be a time, when you are down and out and just to see a smile
Or some reassurance on your way through life, would surely help with daily strife’s,
So put a little light in YOUR life, and light up someone's life today.

BEATING HEART
"Many a beating heart is silenced by the tyranny of indifference." ~Michael Faudet
THE PUREST PLACE
"Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart… where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.” ~Everwood (Trust Your Journey)
FIERCE WARRIOR
“May you always walk in Beauty.” ~Black Elk
Beauty in the heart
Coming from within
Fearless and bold
Brave and strong.
A Lioness by day
A Tigress by night
She drives all evils at bay.
Don't you dare her
Though her soul is simple
And she appears to be naive
She's a fierce warrior you see!
Her spear and shield are ready
Beware not to cross her path.

ABOUT A POETESS
(Dedicatory Poem by Yesu Ben)
Between love child's great mind and those
of our earth is a middle course,
A mid point hence the bridge be cast
from our side halfway mooring mast.
Within her mind’s a mystery
of intersecting unplumbed force
She reads the mind of sun and moon
and those which conduct seasons' course,
the manners of the stars and worlds,
their births, and deaths, and their returns.
That bipeds we be or some such,
let intellect light up and burn.
obscure to seen, atom to star
a lavish flash, don’t your eyes blink.
what veiled romance keeps her pen filled
with mighty heaven's wondrous ink?

GREAT POET
"The greatest poet is one who knows one when she sees one. Like a doctor, she dissects one with an incisive mind and can immediately can tell if it is malignant or cancerous. She probes the mind of the poet and looks into the gray matter whether it is infused with wisdom or not. She looks into the heart of the poet, and you know when she is affected by what she reads when she comments with her emojis. ...Rare breed this poet of our contemporary times. Congratulations Leah Dancel!" ~Crispulo Bacud Tappa
