I'm walking in the snow
Nowhere else to go
I look down
And I frown :/
So many footprints
so many, so many
As I wonder
Do my footprints matter?
Are they deeper,
larger, more distinct?
Will people recognize
mine in this sea of soles.
Will I even know my own....

Something that is important to me is making a difference. Affecting the lives of people I pass on the street. Helping them or letting them help me.
