“If You Disappeared From This World”

If you disappeared from this world today…
Would it matter? Would they care?
You don’t need to change the world.
Just… be there.

If you vanished without a trace,
Your mama’d still feel the empty space.
Ten months she held you, heartbeat close, 
Every scar she wore, she wore for hope.

Your father might not say a word,
But silence still can ache and burn.
You were his pride, his reason to strive,
He worked so hard just to keep dreams alive.

That corner store you used to pass,
The owner might miss your jokes and laughs.
Not just the bills you used to pay, 
But the way you brightened up his day.

Your coworkers might look around,
Feel the quiet where your voice once sounded.
You weren’t the loudest in the room,
But something warm left with your shoes.

It’s not always about the big things.
Sometimes it’s the way you made coffee ring.
The way you listened,
The way you stayed…
The little ways we feel someone’s grace.

You’ll still show up in someone’s tale,
In the scent of rain or a paper trail.
A sudden laugh, a melody, 
A piece of you in memory.

You don’t have to change the world.
You don’t have to be loud to be heard.
You’re someone’s light, you’re someone’s glue;
So live, just live… That’s all you need to do.

Your niece might ride that carousel,
But it won’t sound quite the same.
Cotton candy melts like time,
But she still whispers your name.

Your girl would hold your memory tight,
Till someone else walks in with light.
Still, the place you made inside her chest,
Was once her shelter, once her rest.

Your neighbor owes you tools and plates,
He borrowed ‘em back in ‘08.
He’d feel the guilt, he’d miss your wave,
Even if he never said it straight.

Your dog would wait by the door each night,
Tail still, ears up, chasing light.
No one to call, no ball to throw,
Just a silence only dogs would know.

If you disappeared, the world would spin,
But something small would cave within.
Someone would pause, someone would feel,
Even time forgets, but hearts are real.

You’ll still show up in someone’s tale,
A porchlight glow, a paper trail.
The smallest things can carry through, 
The parts of life that came from you.

You don’t have to change the world.
You don’t have to shine to prove your worth.
You’re someone’s light, you’re someone’s glue; 
So live, just live… That’s all you need to do.
That’s all you need to do.
