Tracks

I leave earthly traces of myself with each step I take.
The tracks I put down, 
are guides that others can follow, or ignore.
But within each track, I leave traces of myself,
my witness to others.
Lord, help me live my life in the shadow of the cross,
living a totally surrendered life.
For when my last breath is drawn,
all that will remain are the tracks I’ve left 
that pointed another to you.

Gwendolyn Cloyd November 18, 2020 at 12:55 PM I thought your poem was very moving and thought provoking. We all hope, at least, most of us, hope we can teach someone something, or leave a trail of wisdom behind for someone else, and just a whisper of who we were. Keep up the good work-
