we walk in footprints . long buried and paved over . but not forgotten
in recognizing . what came before, an homage . respects history
out of reverence . the world speaks in hushed voices . after a snowstorm
water, as does life . carries memories downstream . they should be good ones
to walk with respect . is to share the path we’re on . without changing it
to live as neighbors . we don’t need to agree, just . respect each other
an act of kindness doesn’t need to be witnessed to be effective
on a graveyard road that does not connect, the sign shows passive respect
through simple actions we show the world respect or the opposite
a simple request: help keep everyone safe is basic kindness
