With Only

We have all read the quote:
Take only pictures. Leave only footprints.

Of course I can never leave well enough alone.
So ...
let me embellish ...

Let us leave this earth,
not with monuments of our accomplishments,
not with sculptures of our idolized,
not with ruins from our outrage,
not with neon names lit up;
but with only footprints of our explorations,
mended hearts we've helped to heal,
lessons we have grasped to teach,
lives we took a moment to improve,
smiles we have shared and induced,
and love we have freely given to others.
