Poem
gods-book.com As we become older and unsure of the time we have left, We reflect on the memories of the legacy that we’ve expressed. We sometimes question the way we acted when it was unpleasant, Wishing it was more positive than our memory at present. But we’ve all acted and done things we wish we could take back, Using actions and words that could have been better served with a little tact. The thing to remember is not all you think you did wrong, Instead, think of all the good and charity you did, all your life long. The people we touch is probably greater than we can imagine, Because it goes beyond those who knew you and saw your passion. Because people act differently from something they saw in you, Changed their reaction and influenced people, they knew. In the same way, they were envied and changed other’s views, And this happened, touching those people and their views too. You touched someone and changed who and how they are, And then they too changed others’ making your legacy go far. No need wishing to change that which we would like to take back, Because it too becomes positive to those that saw its impact. If it was something they noticed as negative and unthoughtful, Wouldn’t it likely keep them from treating others equally awful? This is true whether our legacy is from things either good or bad, Effecting countless others who were touched by the life that you had. Only God knows how many were touched by you, no matter its meaning, And could be, it was his intention, a reaction from him intervening. He uses us in ways we may not be able to understand, To change the way others think, somehow according to his plan. Our lives are not our own and that is something we should all know, Because God uses us for his purpose, and he is in control. Don’t be concerned with how you’ll be thought of after you depart, Because your legacy is the sum of all the good that came from your heart. Just know you are loved by all your family, acquaintances and friends, And your love and goodness will make you remembered long after your life in heaven begins.
