The highest hope we can aspire
Is to light a lasting fire.
To put to pen some fragile phrase
...
Tomorrow lies beyond the pale
Yesterday may ne'er return
Today is all we have to hold
No matter how we yearn
...
Legacy
The highest hope we can aspire
Is to light a lasting fire.
To put to pen some fragile phrase
That may transcend our fleeting days.
Mayhaps bequeath a tiny fragment
A word, a line or tacit remnant,
To reach across the tide of time
And touch a soul, perhaps with rhyme.
