The Thing About Voices

The thing about voices

is that over the course of evolution

where we've traveled and lived all over the Earth

we've gone to space, we've dived into underwater caves

where we've invented and created

and we have destroyed and burnt and now here we are

where we constantly see others and even though we don't know it

we try to be a little bit like them

our voices are all still different

You might know somebody with a voice like an angel

Or maybe a voice that could summon a devil 

but their voices 

the way they say words

they way they sing and speak and laugh and cry

are only vibrations sent into the air

but they all sound different

your voice could mean a lot to somebody

your voice could tell stories

your voice can comfort someone

and the most magical thing about voices is that

whatever you do for someone

whatever you tell them

they will associate those words you have spoken with your voice

if you are kind to someone and you tell them that you believe in them

when they think those thoughts they will hear your voice

and to them you are the voice of "I believe in you"

or you are the voice of "you can do it"

or "It will all be alright someday"

"I am there for you"

"I'm sorry"

"I promise"

"I love you"

and a million other words all belong to your voice in someone else's mind

so when you say something to someone

always remember that whatever you  say and however you say it

they will remember you

they will remember your voice

Yes indeed it is the voices of people around us that encourage us to move forward and to believe in ourselves. Nicely penned ☺
