I Decided That I Haven'T Seen 1 Poem That Moves Me To Share My Genius
I KNOW WHAT I WANT MY MARK TO BE
When I leave this earth I want to leave my mark
But it’s difficult to see a mark in the dark
You may as well wear blindfolds over your eyes
I want to leave a mark when I say my final goodbyes
Some people sit in an easy chair that ain’t easy after all
Some people never learned to rise up when they fall
Some people regret ignoring the song of a lark
But as for me when I go I want to leave my mark
There were so many things I’ve done and I’ve seen
I always chose being gentle rather than to be mean
I made little children giggle as they played in a park
But to me all those things aren’t much of a mark
If I had my choice of what mark to leave behind
It wouldn’t be that people thought of me as having been kind
I wouldn’t want my mark to be the things that I do
When I leave my mark I want that mark to be you
