Blessings

I will leave this earth as I came,
taking nothing.
But I leave some of myself.

My children,grandchildren and
 all the smiles I gave,
Even to strangers I met and
 didn't know.

The good words I gave when they
were needed,
Blessed not only me but the receiver.

 Your path is preordained, your
steps are set.
Make sure you can say, you left your
footprints on this earth.

Then you will have truly been a 
blessing to family and friends.

    The simple truth in every life is known in friends and family. We put on heirs and act debonair. But it's only phony facsimile. When roots dig deep into life's soil. That's when you'll know you've lived life royal.

    The "footprints" that will be most important in your legacy are the poems from your heart, Anne. These are so uplifting to read. Thanks so much for sharing this series with us. I look forward to seeing more of them. Love, Carolyn
