"Some People"

By Flavia Weedn

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.

The story of "Shay" is beautiful and very inspirational and I would like to share it with you. This story was first brought to my attention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The New Your Times bestselling author of 10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace and The Power of Intention and Learning to CO Create Your World Your Way. I highly recommend Dr. Wayne Dyer as renowed author and speaker in the field of self-development. Now please enjoy the story of "Shay" and have a beautiful day and may we all bring love and humanity into this world!

The Story of Shay

At a  fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that  would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school  and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

"When not interfered  with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with

perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do.  He cannot understand things as other children do.

Where is the natural order of things in my son?"

The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. "I believe  that when a

child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled  comes into the world, an

opportunity to realize true human nature presents  itself, and it comes in the way

other people treat that child."

Then he  told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where  some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, "Do you think  they'll let me play?" I knew that most of the boys would not want someone  like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if  my son

were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of  belonging and some

confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his  handicaps. I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not  expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, "We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I  guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the  ninth inning."

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I

watched with a small tear in my eye  and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my

son being  accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few  runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning,  Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits  came his way, he was obviously

ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved

to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two  outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay  bat and

give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was  given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because  Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with  the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment  in

Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay  could at least make

contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung  clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the  ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher. The game  would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been  out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the  pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach  of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, "Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in his life had  Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down  the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, "Run to  second, run to second!"Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards

second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time  Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for  his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the  tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran  toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the  bases toward home.

All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay"

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop  ran to help him by turning him

in the direction of third base, and shouted, "Run to third! Shay, run to third!"As Shay rounded  third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet

screaming, "Shay, run home! Run home!"Shay ran to home, stepped on the  plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game  for his team

"That day", said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, "the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of  true love and humanity into this world".

Shay didn't make it to  another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero  and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
