Gentle Presence
Presence
Sr. Joan Metzner
Some people enter our lives
like deer
slipping in and out
of the woods.
They touch our earth
and as we stop
to look at them
they disappear as quietly
as they came.
But you feel blessed
for having experienced
their gentle presence.
And you give thanks
that the world
is a better place
because of the joy
they brought.

To all those who have touched my life with their gentle presence (you know who you are), thank you. You have made a difference in my world simply by giving me the gift of yourself--even when I took you for granted, at times. Because of you, I feel truly blessed. And even in my low and vulnerable moments, I still have the courage--and inspiration--to move on.
THANK YOU!

Ate Ghee: Wow, touched naman ako sa 'yo. Thank you for always being there for me. I know you really kept me sane over the past couple of days, when I was feeling so depressed. Now that's what you call a "gentle presence."
