Muni-muni
Before you judge,
before you label,
before you bully,
before you litter,
before you speak,
before you utter,
think first if
it’s for the better.

I am speechless. Your words are so raw, so honest and they penetrate not just the mind but as well as the soul. Your words are deep and haunting, but most of all they are brave. If I am with you right now I would give you a big huuuuuug and a long round of applause. You have shown me a deeper view on writing, a greater value on words. That truly, words can heal and writing can make someone feel more alive. Thank you, Sarah. Thank you. ❤

Rosema a beautiful poem. I often wonder if people sometimes took a deep breadth and a step back, before speaking, how different the world could be. You have captured the emotions perfectly. Thank you.
Here is my offering for today.

I will try…harder. But Rosemarie (whining voice) some people just beg to be told! 😀 I teased. I concur completely. As a fan of Maya Angelou (I know you are, too), I try to live by the saying: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 🙂
