Fingertips

Something so tiny that we can barely see
Fingerprints make us all uniquely unique

Astounded and astonished at such intricacy 
These swirly skin lines tell our story officiously

As much as they set us apart, they unite us, You see
We leave them on others we meet on our journey

Every interaction, even a glance it could be
Leaves a fingerprint on all of us invisibly

Fingerprints have nothing to do with our identity
But everything to do with the mark that we leave

So let's live our lives a bit more deliberately 
So that what we leave in others is what we want to see

It is all in our hands, at our fingertips actually.
