Your Name

One thing in life That you will find Above everything else is your name Passed down freely From your family Where generations have all had their say It's been quite the mix Of both women and men Some voices still speak from the grave Stand up and fight For what you feel is right Above everything else is your name This name you own it Shined bright or tarnished It's all in how you handle your day In what you've been told Treat it like gold In this world of come whatever may With your reputation People stop, look, and listen As through life you make your way So don't let them down Those gone and those still around Above everything else is your name

Very nice poem about what kind of legacy we will leave behind with either a good name or a bad name (reputation)!:)
