Heart Print

Heart Print

When I touch another person’s life
A heart print is made that doesn’t fade
Empathy and compassion
Produce an impression
Whose mark makes a difference
Changing the present perspective
Deepening the meaning of the moment
Expanding the eyes of the soul.

When I create time for someone else
I express how important they are
Giving value to another person
Affirms their own worth
Growing roots in ourselves
Enriched through extension
Kindness branches out as
Joy in our hearts towards others.

When we listen to another heart
We alleviate the stress, pain,
Suffering or dissatisfaction
Troubling another soul
We complete the circle
Connecting us all made of
Star stuff and brighten
The light within us all.
