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
