Imprint

Imprint

A Poem by HeidiMarie Mackey

Leaving your imprint on life, monumental I must agree.
Not everyone gets given a gift for future ages to see.
But what about leaving your imprint on the soul of another.
Now that my friend is even better than the other.
No you won't get your glory and lifetime fame.
The whole world won't know or say your name.
They won't find you on a shelf with a hard back cover.
They won't teach your achievements or wonders you discovered.
Unconditional love will be your bank of gold.
Undying loyalty as you slowly grow old.
A day won't pass where your name isn't said.
Every other thought is a picture of you in their head.
Endless understanding and strength to lean on.
Now that is the Imprint I want to leave when I'm gone!

Gee
We all wish to be remembered otherwise what point life. I wonder if we'll be remembered past the next generation or whether we'll die with our children's passing. Perhaps if we are lucky enough we'll manage to pen a piece that will stand the test of time and be read by many. For me, that ain't gonna happen. Thought provoking, liked this.....and I waffle

I agree. We do want to leave something behind.
"Endless understanding and strength to lean on.
Now that is the Imprint I want to leave when I'm gone!"
Good life and actions will leave a positive imprint upon the place we lived and roamed. Thank you Heidi for sharing the excellent poetry.

That is what I aim in my life too, to leave a mark of love on the lives that I touch everyday. There is no greater achievement than to spread love around us... This is such a beautiful message for every soul, because love is the only bank which has unlimited supply of money and that is love...

Sincerely
Dhiman

Wanting to leave a mark..to be remembered by someone is what we mostly desire.. Nicely expressed!
