the smallest footprint...

Last weekend as I was thinking about what we value and how we live, I composed a few of these thoughts to words as follows...

we all leave a footprint
where ever we go,
how big or how small
we yet do not know

our steps are a message
for generations to come,
of how heavy or light
our load has become

we may think we don't
have much impact at all,
but our footprints remain
no matter how small

each movement we make
we either give or we take,
often buying great things
of little value that break

so ease up on your load
and tread lightly on this land,
for the earth God has given
is blessing from His Hand

take care of this blessing
for this gift just won't last,
we should care for it dearly
and not consume it so fast...
