Life Here

Stepping into hot wax
I'd do a dance
Wanting to be remembered
Be worth remembering
Friends fade
As do enemies
However we are judged by the marks we have made,
During our time here.

Marks we have made.....yes. But we don't have to be more than what we are--- we don't have to make others see our worth, for us to see it, and for us to be worth something. What matters most, I believe, is how we loved. That is what I want to be remembered for....not anything else, but I guess how I touched those around me. You are beautiful all on your own, and you don't need to make a leap to be known....just be who you are.:) Best wishes, Sara
