Leave the World a Bit Better

When the tide goes out there is a water mark where the water was

When the water of life recede from the shore of my being and my heart pumps for the last time, my desire is that there will be a mark where I stood.

My aim is that the mark will say, for some decades a man occupied this apace who saw others more important than himself and afforded to leave the world a better place for them and those yet to come.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
