On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.
Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!
I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if somone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be...YOUR LOVE
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got'
And be thankful for the Little Things
in Life that mean a lot.
And I take that final breath;
I want to know I've left behind
Some "good" before my death.
I hope that in my final hour
In all honesty I can say;
That somewhere in my lifetime,
I have brightened someone's day.
That maybe I have brought a smile
To someone else's face...
And made one moment a little sweeter
While they dwelled here in this place.
Lord, please be my reminder
And whisper softly in my ear,
To be a "giver", not a "taker",
In the years I have left here.
Give to me the strength I need
Open up my mind, my soul,
That I might show sincere compassion
And love to others before I go.
For if not a heart be touched by me,
And not a smile was left behind,
Then the life that I am blessed with
Will have been a waste of time.
With all my heart, I truly hope
To leave something here on earth...
That touched another, made them smile
And gave to my life, worth.
