A Legacy Was Planted Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Mentally on the road
while spiritually at home

My mind got to wander
while my soul was at peace

Mentally on the road
while spiritually at home

My thoughts got to ponder
what only distance could release

Mentally on the road
while spiritually at home

My roots ran deeper
as my connection fastened

Mentally on the road
while spiritually at home

My legacy was planted
—under all that had happened
