Blossoming

“May every soul that touches mine—

be it the slightest contact –

Get therefore some good;

Some little grace, one kindly thought;

One aspiration yet unfelt;

One bit of courage

For the darkening sky;

One gleam of faith

To brave the thickening ills of life;

One glimpse of brighter skies

Beyond the gathering mist –

To make their life worthwhile.”

– George Sand
