Be the Soul That Stays
Be the Soul That StaysBe the reason someone rediscovers,
The beauty of ethereal souls
That spread positivity everywhere.
Be the reason someone never fears to trust again
And learns to believe in loyalty.
Be someone no one ever regrets trusting.
Be the reason for someone’s peace,
Not the cause of havoc and sorrow.
Be the one who never makes anyone cry;
Someone through whom others learn to connect.
Be the reason to bring even the slightest brightness
To someone’s life,
So that people still believe in compassion
And the beauty of a sincere heart.
Be the one who lends a helping hand,
Not someone who uses others,
The one remembered with warmth and grace,
Who leaves a gentle fragrance wherever you go,
Not the bitter trace of hurt that lingers behind,
Whose kindness remains long after you are gone!
No matter what you’ve been through,
Never make someone else go through the same.
Be generous enough to give the best
You wished for yourself but never received.
Be someone who remains in the best memories,
Not the nightmares;
Someone remembered as light,
Bringing smiles and cherishing hearts
Instead of tears and tarnished trust.
Be someone who is found in others’ prayers,
Not in their curses.
Be someone who keeps promises
And honors commitments,
Who never plays with others’ hope
Or acts selfishly at others’ expense.
Be the one who never shatters a heart
Or leaves an ugly scar on life.
Be the person of character this world still needs.
Be the reason hearts still choose radiance.
