Legacy Poem by Gerry Legister

Seeds may grow to blossom.
And fruits that came to us freely.
May go to feed the next generation.
The steppingstones of legacy

When it is time to die, we may discover.
That we had never fully lived,
Legacy inscribes as success or failure,
for others to follow what we leave.

Responsibility and influence
we place in the hands of others,
the principles that we embrace.
Become memories beyond our lives.

Each person leaves an inheritance.
And cultivate an awareness of existence.
