What if we give “us” a chance? Ignore the “buts”, throw caution to the wind and forget our fears. Just for a minute, try to be more than what we are now.
What if we stop biting back the feelings that we thought are better left unsaid? I know they are there. I know they’re real. And I know you feel what I feel. But why can’t we take the risk?
Why can’t we walk side-by-side instead of walking away from each other? Why can’t we say those three words? Why do we have wait on who should take the first step?
What if we just take those damn steps together and meet half-way?
I don’t know what lies ahead but neither do you—neither does the rest of the world know. So how about we finally give this what if a chance?

What iF..
we all reach
out to someone
with nice
words.. etc..
of encouragement..
just ’cause we can
for no other
reason
but
can and
will.. and sure
a Loving human
touch that
only
sees
friend
in a grain of sand..
and sunshine rays..
that can
not hold
back
from
saying hi..
another day
is now.. and life
is worth living.. reaching out..
smiles my friend.. i don’t think we
thank folks enough for being this way
naturally as they can be.. i’ve commented
on literally thousands of poet’s sites just
for inspiration of words of heArt..
and i’ve been thinking
or better put
feeling..
i miss A
human touch at nows..
that is just a ‘stranger’
with a warm heart..
as the world
is surely
cold
without that my friEnd..
anyway.. i don’t know you..
but i encourage you to keep
being you.. just another friendly
person on the trail of life.. that can
become so rigid and unwavering if we don’t reach out..
and touch
something
more than
shells
of
words..:)
