Perhaps my name shall never be
Ranked with the greats in history;

Perhaps great wealth I shall not gain
My lips kissed not by fine champaign;

Perhaps deep thoughts I shall not think
Nor save the world from peril's brink;

Perhaps diseases I can't cure
Nor plan devise to end all war;

A purpose, though, was given me;
A grand design - my destiny;

A noble call - make no mistake;
A contribution I shall make;

'Till breath of life's no longer mine
My soul shall sing His love divine;

This vessel crafted for His use
Shall ever share such love profuse.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints in our heart and we are never ever the same.

Thank you all for leaving footprints!!
