Influence,
person to person,
subtle,
oft unseen.
Do not pretend you have no role.
Do not pretend every word does not matter.
The speeches and grandiose proclamations may not matter,
for they are of the world, for the world, in the world.
But a word, a gesture, an attitude, an expression,
the countless ways that your soul is nakedly revealed,
there is the
influence.
Persona and policies are transient and ephemeral.
But the touch cold or warm,
the word cruel or caring,
there your life
loudly echoes through eternity.
Your influence,
seen in a little child’s eyes
made brighter or dimmer
in the wake of your passing.
