Imprinted

In life we are imprinted by many

Some are permanent and others disappear like a footprint

that gets washed away by the ocean

It could be a smile a stranger gives you or a statement they say that

imprints you for the day

Then there are those who imprinted in our hearts forever.

You set off to do one thing without imagining

what you are truly designing in others

Positivity, hope, faith is the print you have engraved in me.

Grammar Point:

An article is a kind of adjective which always gives some information about a noun.  There are only two articles a and the. 

The word a (which becomes an when the next word begins with a vowel - a, e, i, o, u) is called the indefinite article, because the noun it goes with is general.   For example, I have a book. This sentence lets us know I have one book, but it could be any book.

The word the is known as the definite article and indicates a specific thing.  The difference between the sentences I sat on a chair and I sat on the chair, is that the second sentence refers to a particular, specific chair, not just any chair.
