What Did I Do …

Did I give
comfort when you needed the gift of just someone to listen?
Did I say
thank you when you shared your grace with me?
Did I give
back more than take of your generosity and kindness?
Did I respect
the beauty of who you are and not stand in the misguided steps of judgement of
who I thought you should be?
Did I offer a
gentle tissue of compassion for your tears of sorrow and tears of joy?
Did I walk
away when I should have found the path to walk toward you?
Did I make a
difference in the privilege of living in your world?
Did I answer
your call when others turned away?
Did my
existence offer positive energy to your universe?
Did I forgive
and make a way for second chances?
What did I do …
Hopefully, I did contribute in the
spirit of goodness; and,
hopefully, I did recognize my shortcomings and
will always strive to do much better; and,
hopefully, I, too, will be given the
gift of second chances.
