Tracks We Leave Behind Poem by David Harris
Tracks We Leave Behind
In a hundred years from now
when we are not around,
I wonder if we’ll be remembered
for the tracks we leave behind,
our legacy for our short time here.
Will our meagre efforts
be rewarded with immortal fame
or will they be extinguished
like the candles flame?
We can only live in hope.
One day in the distant future
will a student over our work ponder
of how our life was reflected
in the tracks we leave behind
and the confusion we sometimes feel.
Let’s hope that future student
sees all our love within
the words we carefully chose
to represent our life
in the tracks we leave behind.

Indeed we can only hope we leave the right impression of the life we lived in the future. Fame and notoriety being all the same. We should never fixate on just one name. For they are plenty of us in existence today. That their are more then enough lessons to go around. That not only one teacher should wear the crown.
