Legacy
If I should write a poem, my last
To celebrate my birth
My cause would be, the common good
Of every soul on Earth
The legacy of those who live
Is more than who they link
The blessed right that people share
To live the way they think
If I should give a speech, my last
To say my goodly part
Then I would speak on what I know
The feelings of my heart
The chance to serve the ones who lack
Is how we learn to live
The more you love the more you have
A bigger heart to give
If I should run a race, my last
My finish line to face
My fervent wish would be to find
The strength of my own pace
To do the most that I can do
My limits more to test
And thus confirm to this, my soul
I did my very best.
