You may not think the world needs you,
But it does,
For you are unique,
Like no one that has ever been before,
Or will come after.

No one can speak with your voice,
Say your peace,
Smile your smile,
Or shine your light,

No one can take your place,
For it is yours alone to fill.

If you are not there to shine your light,
Who knows how many travelers will lose their way,
As they try to pass by your empty place in the darkness.
