Footprints
We come into the world
one by one, one by one
one time we go-one by one
but what foot prints do you leave
as a mark of life lived?
Some leave no foot prints
others- half foot prints
still others- rough foot prints
some- ones wind steals quickly
It is a mark of duty
to humanity in life lived
to leave behind after departure
foot prints that generations
and generations after generations
use to guide human existence
Foot prints that shouts silently
in hearts of humanity
that ideal life one lives
is life for others- not self
achievement of things
not material, not disputable
but the intangible goods
the qualitative goods
universally desired
by every living soul
and those that depart
