Footprints

footprints

This earth occupies an infinitesimal space in the universe

I’m just one among billions of people in this world

And the time I live in is only a tiny segment in the entire history

So does another year matter?

Does what I did in the past year matter?

What I did, do, or plan to do

They’re like footprints on the sand

Will be washed away in a blink of eyes

Though tiny and insignificant

These footprints are seen by those

Who happen to live with me in this same time, in this same space

Whom destiny brought our lives together

A coincidence, a crossing of lives

So short and so insignificant in the eyes of the world, the universe, and time

Yet it’s everything I have

I’ll continue leaving footprints

When they become meaningful to people around me

My walk in this world will have meaning as well

    Every footprints of you…Always significant to me….Even you\’re just one among billions of people in this world…And the time you live in is only a tiny segment in the entire history…Your actions may like a footprint on the sand and it may washed away in a blink of eyes…However, I just want to tell you that….Every singles footprint of you\’ll never fade away from my heart…May every of your actions on this earth become meaningful to people around you like it has already become for me… (p.s. too sweet pa..- -\’ shy jung ka)

    We are so afraid that we won\’t be rememberedWe tried to leave our footprints on the sandCarved our names on the wooden chairBut does it matter, really, to be forgotten by this world and peopleIf, afterall, we knew by heart that we have once shared a moment with the loved ones?To have a chance to live, and to feel, is already a pleasant giftI know I shouldn\’t ask for more.Your writing gives me so much insight and I feel that there are so many other things that I have not yet think about. Thank you.And oh, the colors you used in your drawing are beautiful when you match them all together.
