What life we leave for our children

My world may seem like a mess,

however I believe that all of the struggling

obstacles that are thrown in our way

are only proof that there is a higher power.

I firmly believe that this higher power

exposes us to the greatest of challenges

so that we can successfully conquer

and overcome them while creatively and

necessarily guiding our children away from

darkness. These character traits or imprints

that we choose to follow will  eventually

end up being permanently sketched in

our mind and shared with those we love

as memories. One day we will all be called

home and this is why it is so important that

we leave behind what we think are imprints

and character traits to our children whom see

them only as the beautiful childhood memories

they remember bits and pieces of. Memories

that they too etch in their brain to share with

their children. Life is not supposed to be easy.

Nobody said it would be. There are some really

tough choices we all need to make and different

paths we chose to follow. Following the wrong

one doesn’t make you a bad person it just teaches

you more about who you are and what you want

to leave behind. I choose to leave nothing but the

glorious joy I witness in everyday simplicity.

People helping other people that they don’t know,

doctors finding cures for terrible diseases that have

taken to many, teachers that witness and put an end to

bullying in their classrooms, the wealthy donating to the poor, 

and the beautiful instance when we see infants cries

being hushed just by hearing a familiar song their

mothers sing. That familiar song is the one that has

been imprinted on them without them even realizing it.

It guided them in transforming from something so small

to something so pure, powerful, and meaningful- LIFE!!!
