leaving your mark

ever do that?

scratch your name on a park bench

or a tree

or a fire hydrant??

i wonder who colin galloway is??
you can see his name scratched in at the top of the hydrant.

i wonder what he'd think if he knew i was writing

about him

i checked to see if there was a colin galloway living here

there is one in lunenburg.

can you imagine if it was that simple to leave our

mark by just etching our name on some

inanimate object?

but it takes more then that doesn't it?

it takes a kind heart to leave a mark

and loving consistency

and an other focus

and a listening ear

and integrity in all things

it is these things that will remain

faith hope and love

these will remain 

but the greatest of these is love.

when we really consider others

more highly then ourselves there is an 

etching that takes place

deep deep inside

it is invisible to the human eye

but to the divine it is there

etched on the heart of those we love

it says..

love was here.

or debi was here

or   (insert your name)

 was here

love leaves a mark

always

always 

always

more love

i need

Lord

more love
