When we're starting out anew
And begin to "blaze a trail",
Are we "taking land" for good?
Do our efforts have avail?
The direction of our lives,
When we've diligently planned,
Can make an impact of great value
Which will matter and will stand.
We can change the world
By the way we live each day.
Our lives can make a difference
And help others find their way.
The gifts we leave behind
When our lives are finally spent
Are things we do for others.
May they be of blessed intent.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16 KJV
