How We'Ll Be Remembered

We never really know how long our life will last… That exact moment we will slip from the present to the past. So here’s something we should ask ourselves every day… before we reach our dying ember: How, when we are gone, do we want to be remembered? It is a simple question…but it’s ripples extend out in every direction…wide and far… and how we choose to answer every day…determines who we are. And who we are in each and every moment from every January to December… determines, when we’re gone…just how we’ll be remembered.

A topic I have written on myself Jim. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the subject. Have great day. "Legacies" is the last poem I wrote on this topic.
