Touching Your Life - Poem by louis rams

everybody that comes into your life touches you in some way
Whether it's good or bad who is to say
Some will have an impact more than others and some
You will consider a sister or brother.

It may be just a simple word they say, or to encourage
You so you won't go astray.
The touch of their hand, the smile on their face
Or even a gentle embrace.
Them you have some with a treacherous heart
Who tries to tear your faith apart.

Those that are envious of what you have accomplished in life
Because they failed to do what they knew was right.
Their negativity will make you wiser and stronger
To face the challenges which lie ahead, and you
Will know which roads to tred.

Those that are touching your life will help you
To make any sacrifice.
