Leaving a Legacy
Life itself is a bunch of something built on
nothing, what lives after a man is not the
luggage of his labor but the legacies of
love he leaves. Pride is parading the
porous, painting the pointless and
preaching on pit-platform. Humility is
holding unto honour with the hands of
your heart. What a man posseses that
adds value to him alone goes to the
grave with him, what a man posseses
that adds value to others goes to where
his legs wouldn't get to, leaves his
footprint of the path of posterity & his
fingerprint on the walls of eternal worth.
Live to love, leave a legacy.
