Legacy
Traces of our lives
Are left when we are gone
A little piece of what we were
Stays behind to carry on
Some may call it history
Remnants of our past
What we choose to do today
Determines if it lasts
No one sees tomorrow
Our plans, uncertain at best
We just live, day by day
And time will do the rest
We try to make a difference
Not knowing which way to turn
Making mistakes along the way
But always willing to learn
Destiny awaits our Legacy
To see what we have been
No promise of tomorrow
Just evidence of an end
