Legacy

To roam this earth no more
And lure on that immortals door
Behold thy ultimate life’s defeat
As death pulls you over by your feet

The trail of your mortality remains
As you struggle for pain and fame
It wont matter anymore
Twas written in your memoir

Your act of goodness will be remembered
So as your sinister act my friend
For every season in life spent
Are legacy in their head

What is important is how you care
To befriend an enemy you don’t just dare
Like my grandfather and grandmother in their quest
Set an example I wont forget/regret

It is true for trees, for daffodils, for you
Things wither I hope you knew
That in time death flings with you
Your life is a living legacy about you.
