Tears fall like raindrops,
Heavy hearts wear shadows’ veils,
Time heals, yet leaves marks.
Sorrow
Preparation
Preparation is what’s needed
To accomplish what you hope,
With each small step and steady aim,
You’ll find your way, you’ll learn to cope.
Each moment spent in focus clear
Builds the path that leads you on;
With courage in your heart, my dear,
Your dreams will wake with each new dawn
On That Note
The only podcast I listen to is “On That Note,” hosted by Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men. Here’s a clip from one of the latest moments where he was interviewing his bandmates.

“A year from now you will wish you had started today.” —Unknown
Embrace of Healing
Gentle, comforting,
Warm touch to soothe and connect,
Love in every stroke.
Whispers of hope linger,
In the silence, hearts converse,
Binding souls as one.
Through trials, we find strength,
A tender hand to hold us,
Together we rise.
In each softly spoken word,
In every lingering glance,
Trust blooms as we dance.
With every heartbeat shared,
A sanctuary unfolds,
Where peace lives and grows.ve in every stroke.
