Marks
Jn my old town there was @ git
Who dropped seeds everywhere she went,
While all the boys carved out their names
Jn any patch of wet cement.
‘They'd laugh at her and tell ber
She would never make a mark,
If all she left behind her
‘Were some falling Jeaves and bari.
Go I wonder if they've been back
Since we grew and left that place,
Or if thoy still all carry markers
In their pockets just in ease.
Because I'd love to see theix faces
JET told them what I've seen,
‘That the strects where we once played
Now drown beneath a sea of green.
‘And their names scratched on the sidewalls
‘Weren't as eternal as they'd planned,
For in the place where they once wrote them
‘An endless forest proudly stands.
‘Would they tell that girl they're sony
If they ever had the choice,
For not knowing those worth hearing
‘Don't always have the loudest voice?
‘That in the future oll the things we do
‘Will still have an effect,
‘And that sometimes those who change the world
‘Are those you least expect
