When I Think of History

When I think of History, to me it's a mystery. You are taught, you learn, you visit, you realize. Still, you can only imagine. Different dates, different times, What happened in this world before my time? The blood, the sweat, the glory. Individuals, revolutions, resolutions. Cultures striving, making heritage Life becomes history. Recognition, realization Understanding past historical power. History is action. With conviction and determination For those who have gone before me And those who will go after me and those who stand tall beside me I am the past and I am the present. I will be leaving my mark on the future. Leaving footprints in History!
