"Footprints in the sand"

One day,
We will no longer be here, our time on earth will
Cease.
There will be nothing left of us, our bodies are
Just on lease.
What will be left behind by us, those
“Footprints in the sand” are the memories that
We’ve created, as we’ve walked across the
Land.

All of us have things we’ve done,
When mindless youth held sway, that
We’d take back in later years, if only
There were a way.
Our only hope
Against memories that brood,
Is to make deeper tracks of
Good.
Helping, Healing, Bringing Smiles and
Warmth of Heart, may not reverse
All the bad,
but
At least, it is a
Good start.
