Footprints of Love
When it has all been said and done;
flowers will fade, grasses will be gone.
We will all leave the earth without a dime,
what will stand the test of time
are our legacies of light and love.
All the grains we gathered in greed,
all the friends we neglected in need,
all the mansions of gruesome gains,
and the palaces of prejudice and pains
would be our attorney in the court above.
Religious rites and rituals will become rotten;
fashions and fragrances will be forgotten.
Deep in our hearts, there is a little light
showing us the right path all day and light...
Hearken to the voice of that little dove.
Be a helping hand, lift the folks on the floor,
Be a faithful finger, feed the poor next door.
Do the little you can with what you have...
never let anyone around you suffer and starve...
let us all leave footprints of love.
