"Who Have Been There"

Footprints fade, on life's worn path
Yet memories remain, of love and aftermath
Those who walked, through joy and strife
Left marks on hearts, and a lasting life

I. Guides and Mentors

Teachers, mentors, with wisdom's sway
Showed us the way, through life's disarray
Guiding hands, through darkness and light
Helping us find, our inner strength and might

II. Loved Ones

Family, friends, with love's pure fire
Warmth and comfort, in life's desire
Sharing laughter, wiping away tears
Through life's journey, calming all fears

III. Strangers Turned Friends

Chance encounters, with kindred souls
Unexpected bonds, making us whole
Strangers turned friends, in life's grand play
Together navigating, life's uncertain way

IV. The Unseen

Angels, spirits, with watchful care
Guarding us, through life's snare
Unseen forces, shaping our fate
Guiding us, to a brighter state

V. Legacy

Those who've been, will always stay
In memories, hearts, and life's gray
Their love, wisdom, and legacy remain
Inspiring us, to forge our own path's gain.
