Impact. It's funny how this word holds both scary and soothing meaning.
Impact on the right hand, shaping, carving, redeeming.
Do I seek to leave a mark, a scar, or a balm?
In the chaos of life, in its noise, can I be the calm?

Impact, in ripples, spreading wide and far,
In every whispered word, in every shining star.
To leave behind a legacy, not of wealth or fame,
But of love, of kindness, a brightly burning flame.

Impact, the echo of our deeds, resounding through the years,
In laughter shared, in dried up tears.
If I could leave a trace, a memory that stays,
Let it be of hope, of light that never fades.

Impact, a touch, a gesture, a smile,
Simple acts that make life worthwhile.
So in this world,...
