Leaving Something Behind
Everyone you encounter, leaves something
behind. Some the treasure is obvious, others
it is not so easy to find.
One makes you laugh, another causes you tears
One's around a short time, another for years.
Some cause a laugh when you want to be sad,
Some stand beside you in good times and bad.
You never know what impact one is going to
make, be careful of the steps you take.
Walk into many lives and not out of many
Build until you think you have plenty.
When you think you don't need any more, build
one more take extra time like never before.
Hold a hand a little tighter,
Make someone else's world a little brighter.
Remember the one you might not have taken
the time to give a chance.
Could be lonely, your best friend, maybe
your romance.
