The path you walk, the thousand footsteps you leave…..
Along the shores of life, with many a fellow traveler.
Crossing path and sharing moments, sometimes stealing,
To make your journey worth travelling.
We walk this journey, some rich some poor
Some wise some
foolish, some selfish some selfless.
Some succeed some fail, some happy some sad,
But all must pass through the same gate to life next.
I am nothing but a humble scribe, insignificant
My scribbles make me pause and look at the words I pen.
The words speak to me, makes me think and has taught me this:
The journey you make leaves marks not just on your shore.
Your fellow travelers, your comfort and companion,
Gets marked by the footsteps
you make on their path.
Don’t stamp, crush or gash their delicate path,
For they have to walk the rest with the weight you left
behind.
All who human born, starts his journey with the first cry,
And end it God knows when with a long sigh, yes the last sigh.
Let us take this journey meaningful, not scorching anyone’s path,
And make the last sigh a life well lived.
