A Fingerprint of God

when I leave this world

I would like to be remembered

as

being kind and gentle

being loving and friendly

toward people, animals and nature

giving of myself freely with no strings attached

looking for nothing more than a simple "thank you"

helping others, especially, those in need

mainly to be remembered

as

being a God-fearing man

I was raised to put God first

others second and

myself last

in this day and time so many are out for number one

except

with an occasional prayer only when they need help

I’m hoping one day my words will be read

and my art seen by all

giving all the glory to God for giving me the ability,

the talent and the time to create

I hope and pray to be remembered in a positive way by

helping others to find Him

by shining in the darkness like a beacon

leaving my mark on this world like

a fingerprint of God
