LEGACY IN WORDS I ponder what I can leave My children when I m gone, For I don t have a lot of money, Nor a great big fancy home. They will have some memories But those will surely fade. What tangible thing can I leave, To remind them of my place. I put some words together Some of them even rhyme They tell of my inner most thoughts And things going on at that time. When the children read this book Of poetry they will see My legacy in words A gift to them from me. Hopefully it will encourage them When they are feeling down, And they can feel my presence When I m no longer around."
