Legacy
Legacy
I ponder of a younger time
Flashbacking to another clime
when youth was virile I recall
I set my sails for to explore
the wonders of the world to see
Awaiting me but not to be
I did not set the world on fire
No more dreams could I aspire
resigned to know there was no more
Despite the fact I did succeed
in rearing life to fill my need
A legacy when I am gone
Millennials must heed the call
to make our world a better place
to mark and leave a future trace
eliminate the common thrall
free to express the constant thrum
a bell that tolls of things come
