Be Known
Those who leave, no mark on life,
They trod, as if on air.
As future, generations pass,
Not knowing, they were there.
So try to leave, some semblance of
A being, bright, and fair.
Give honor to, the one above,
Show for your life, you care.
Even if, one soul you help,
Along life's, rocky road.
I’m sure your presence, will be felt,
When you, lay down your head.
-C. Kenneth Green
