People.
People important to you,
people unimportant to you cross your life,
touch it, and move on.
There are people who leave you,
and you breathe a sigh of relief
and wonder why you ever came into contact with them.
Then there are people who leave you,
and you breathe a sigh of remorse
and wonder why they had to go and leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents, friends leave friends.
Acquaintances move on.
People change homes.
People grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on.
Friends love and move on.
You think back of the many people who have moved in and out of your life with faint memory.
You look at those present and wonder.
I believe in God's master plan in our life.
He moves people in and out of each other's lives,
and each leaves his mark on the other.
You find that you are made up of these bits and pieces
of all who have ever touched your life.
You are more because of them,
and would be less if they had not touched you.
Pray that you accept these bits and pieces in humility and wonder,
and never question,
and never regret.
