Leaving A Legacy Of Goodness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Money changes everything as long as you're not greedy
and keeping it selfishly to yourself, you cannot take
it with you.

Why not leave a legacy of goodness, helping the poor
even after you have died, leaving your fortunes to rot
and be of no use in the world, that would be a sin.

Make a difference, leave a mark, no need for recogni-
tion or fame, just do it anonymously, for it will be
multiplied back to you in more ways than one.

A little ripple in time helping poor and unfortunate
people in our world, continuing to grow into larger
waves until covering everyone with a blessed freedom
and no more poverty or hungry children or people.
