Be humble
Recognise that whilst we walk similar paths we all stumble
Be kind
Recognise that in moments of despair it is the hand that we hold
that makes us blind
To the pain.
Be giving
Recognise that it is our contribution to living
That ultimately counts.
Be brave
Have courage to stand tall and speak truths
and lift up the spirit and soul
of young and old
Leave silent footprints
That others may follow
In their own time and at their own pace
Be mindful
Recognise and respect each moment for what it is
It is your live to be lived
Make it meaningful and worthwhile.

I love this, Alison. I love the cadence of the short line/long line rhyme scheme, especially.

Wonderful ingredients! I was very drawn to these lines…
“Leave silent footprints
That others may follow
In their own time and at their own pace”
This advice I could have used when my children were younger.
Thanks for joining in with the prompt!

Your words are almost like a gentle prayer to follow a path of mindfulness as we go about our day. A recipe that all could follow…lovely.
