*People In and Out of Our Lives*


People important to you,
People unimportant to you cross your life,
Touch it with love or carelessness and move on.

There are people who leave you and
you breathe a sigh of relief and
Wonder why you ever came into contact with them.

There are people who leave you
And you breathe a sigh of remorse, and
Wonder why they had to go away and
Leave such a gaping hole.

Children leave parents, friends leave friends,
acquaintances move on.
People grow apart.

Friends love and move on,
You think of the many who have moved into
Your hazy memory.
You look at those present and wonder.

I believe in God's master plan,
He moves people in and out of each other's lives,
And each leaves his mark on the other.

You find you are made up of bits and pieces
Of all who ever touched your life.
You are more because of it,
And you would be less if they had not touched you.

Pray God, that you accept the bits and pieces in humility and wonder.
Never question and never regret.
