Leaving our mark.
The marks we leave will never fade.
They can pierce a heart , make one afraid.
We might never know whose path we changed
By a careless word or a look exchanged.
The marks we leave can harm a life,
They can cut one down like a sharpened knife.
But there are marks we leave that do much good.
We can be a light for our neighbourhood.
Like a fingerprint we are all unique
And the marks we leave will forever speak
Of the love we shared ,of the life we led.
Touching many souls with a kindness spread.
Let us leave our mark on this broken world.
With a gentle touch and joy unfurled
We might never know for whom we brought much hope
How a life was changed or by how much scope.
So let us live with purpose, let us drive out dark.
For when our days are done we’ll have left our mark.
