We have found a way forward, 

and I thank you all, 

For showing me a way 

In life we try to leave our mark, 

Children, books, paintings, 

Any mark that we have been 

Here and existed. 

Here is my mark, 

In this community, 

and the people I have loved, 

and lives I have touched. 

I ask God to help, 

The universal force, 

The keeper of my worries,  

And I know that you are listening
