I Am

I am.
I am here.
I live,
I love
And do everything I want to do.
I am here.

When I can,
I make the difference that I can,
To leave
What I found
A little better than I found it.
If I am allowed,
To leave your life
Better than it was before me.
By giving a smile,
A kind word,
Something learned,
Something shared.

I am.
I want to leave a footprint,
On the sand of time,
On the shore of space,
To be erased as life moves beyond.
To leave something behind
So others won’t forget.
I am here.
The little voice
Almost lost in the din
Of louder voices and nonsense noise.

I was here
And leave no regrets,
Living each day the best I can,
Making a difference,
However small,
Infinitesimal perhaps,
And someone will know
I was real…
I am real,
I am here.
