Presence

Presence Do not hesitate to tread where I have walked For, where I walked got me there and back again My footsteps may not be the path that you would take But I ventured down the path And obstacles I did have to conquer The obstacles are still there But if you follow in my footsteps You will know how to conquer those obstacles And when I am gone do not cry It is true that my flesh will be turned to dust And my dust will dissipate into the air Small particles of me will eventually be everywhere My spirit shall travel with the sum of my particles So when you are outdoors breathing the earths air You will always know that I am there And when you walk on the soil or rock beneath your feet You will know I was there Think of me as a person who was And think of me as a person who is.
