The doing of a thing
shapes who we become
making each life ring and sing.
Do a thing today
that makes you smile
or helps another along life’s way.
Make your story chime
rich and vibrant,
splashed with colors sublime.
Sometimes the thing
is a softly spoken word
like the gentle brush of an angel’s wing.
Sometimes it is creating
art, or music, or a tale
so beautiful it’s breath-taking.
Sometimes it’s praying,
knowing God is listening
to what you are saying.
The things we do and say
define our stories
and shape our lives day-by-day.
