Footprints

Many are insular beings,
attending to egocentric desires.
Strolling on the beach of life.
Footprints washed away.

Some leave prints,
that record their lives,
as if walking on fresh concrete.
Steps of sacrifice, goodness 
and compassion for others 
as if, they were their own.
Footprints remain.
