contemplations of suicide

You.

July 27, 2019

If not for you, there would be a place of emptiness in the heart of God.

If not for you, all the good you have done would still need doing.

If not for you, the spark of your ideas would not have ignited a fire in others.

If not for you, the key role you have played in life’s drama would remain unfilled.

If not for you, at least one person would not have awakened to their dreams.

If not for you, your triumphs could not be examples to inspire others.

If not for you, someone who needed love would not have received it.

If not for you, all life would have been shortened, or never have existed.

If not for you, the song of life would have missed a beat.

If not for you, your gifts would remain ungiven.

If not for you, another might have suffered in your place.

If not for you, someone would have no path to follow.

If not for you, there would be one less smile, one less laugh, and one less hug.

If not for you, there would be one less ember of love to warm the soul.

If not for you, an animal might be homeless and a garden left upland.

If not for you, something would be missing.

You have always made a difference. Who you are is important every day.

You are the face, the heart and the soul of God.
