LEAVING MY MARK

I want to leave my mark on this earth
in the poems and stories I write.
I want them to know that I played a part
in softly touching someone's heart.

I'll leave my footprints in the sands of time
away from the sea's angry roll,
etch my name in the old hickory tree
for future generations to behold.

I want to leave some memories in photographs
so they will remember you see,
a legacy of pictures, thoughts and words
will be a gift to them from me.

I'll not be remembered by the wealth I possessed
not by treasures of silver nor gold
I'll just be remembered by my love of words
and the many stories I've told.
