“Do I matter? Can I, Even now, Especially now, Make a difference? I have struggled with this, All of my days, For before I met them, I mattered to none, But myself. And perhaps, Therein lies my answer. I feared, Terribly, After they were gone, I would indeed, Matter not again, To anyone. But I have come to understand, I can reach hearts, Minds, Souls, And I still, Matter to me. I will go forward, Alone, Yet never lonely, For those I reach, Shall always travel with me. I do matter. I always did. We all do.”
