Why Do People Come Into Our Lives????

Well, this week i've been doing a lot of reflection on why people come into our lives. This reflection became much stronger today morning, particularly because after having completed my course at uni, I had to say farewell to my former lecturers, my thesis supervisor, and some of my friends who i've come to know over the time i've been studying at Edith Cowan University. It was sad to say bye to them, but God willing, i'll see them again soon. Anyway, I came across this beautiful poem, which I decided to dedicate to all the wonderful people i've met throughout my time as a student at Edith Cowan University. Thank you all, for making my journey as a university student such a memorable experience.


SOME PEOPLE

Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.

Some people come into our lives
and quickly go... Some stay for awhile
and embrace our silent dreams.

They help us become aware
of the delicate winds of hope...
and we discover within every human spirit
there are wings yearning to fly.

They help our hearts to see that
the only stairway to the stars
is woven with dreams...
and we find ourselves
unafraid to reach high.

They celebrate the true essence
of who we are...
and have faith in all
that we may become.

Some people awaken us
to new and deeper realizations...
for we gain insight
from the passing whisper of their wisdom

Throughout our lives we are sent
precious souls...
meant to share our journey
however brief or lasting their stay
they remind us why we are here.

To learn... to teach... to nurture... to love

Some people come into our lives
to cast a steady light
upon our path and guide our every step
their shining belief in us
helps us to believe in ourselves.

Some people come into our
lives to teach us about love...
The love that rests within ourselves.

Let us reach out to others
and feel the bliss of giving
for love is far richer in action
that it ever is in words.

Some people come into our lives
and they move our souls to sing
and make our spirits dance.

They help us to see that everything on earth
is part of the incredibility of life...
and that it is always there
for us to take of its joy.

Some people come into our lives
and leave footprints on our hearts
and we are never ever the same.
