Leaving a mark


Are you like me?
Am I like you?
A question to ponder.
Look at the color of my skin.
Is it different from yours?
Does it matter?
It shouldn’t.
My gender, does it matter?
It shouldn’t.
My age?
My name?
My country?
My God?
No, they shouldn’t.
I breathe in air just like you.
My heart beats as does yours.
That matters.
We are much the same.
Am I worth more than you?
Is my house bigger?
My bank account larger?
The food I eat better?
I tell you it doesn’t matter.
In the end my friend.
We both end up with the same fate.
The breath we take ends.
One way or the other it simply ends.
You are like me.
Leave your mark.
Be someone who matters.
Leave the World a better place.
Leave those around you with a thought.
It will last longer than money.
Longer than any physical gift.
Leave them with a memory.
Leave them with an inspiration.
May others find inspiration?
May others find hope?
Help them, encourage them.
Show them the way.
Leave your mark!!!
