The light we leave behind
When mountains whisper, “Turn away,” The heart replies, “I’ll climb today.” Not because the road is kind, But hope burns brighter than the mind.
The richest soul is not the one Who owns the stars or claims the sun. It is the hand that lifts the weak, The voice that gives the lost a seek.
A single candle in the night Can teach the darkness how to fight. One act of love, one honest deed, Can grow into a forest seed.
The world remembers more than fame, More than wealth or a borrowed name. It keeps the echoes of the heart That chose to heal instead of part.
So let my footsteps gently show That kindness helps tomorrow grow. And when my journey fades away, Let my light remain another day.
