one may never know what
God carries into the
darkest crevices of this world
touching a life
with something
another has created
I wish to encourage so many
with personal affirmation that
your time spent creating
works of art, music
poetry and writing
is not in vain
and I need to practice what I preach
and I need to live what I know
for they will never seal
the fissures of my soul
-Gloria Valentine
