They Left a Mark
A celebration of heroes and heroines, dead and living.
They sold their lives
For the price of nothing
And surrendered their entire being
- Spirit:
They pleaded with God
For His intervention
In alleviating man's troubles
They wrestled with forces
That caused people to err
- Soul:
They showed their love
And donated their hearts
They cried for those in anguish
And danced with the lame
They taught the ignorant
And gave them the confidence
Of the learned
- Bodies:
Hands that caressed
Palms that gave alms
Smiles that uplifted
Legs that led
Mouths that spoke up
Tongues that revealed truth
And words that made whole
You decided to be different
And sacrificed yourselves
Your footprints are seen across the sands of time
Your works speak for you
Your stories will always be told
The marks you left will forever tell it
