Life's Lessons

You have seen it all, the good, the bad Handled crisis soundly for which you are glad At an age where you can no longer do physical labour Why not leave behind a legacy of life in all its flavour Words of wisdom gathered from experience Few lines of caution to aid those with inexperience Some words on values which are depleting day by day Some thoughts to ponder on life and its way Some memories of mistakes and your learnings Some memorable memories of sudden turnings Crises and how you handled it all Advice on how to avert a fall One day death suddenly might come You may not be there to mentor them Why not leave behind a legacy for them Many long for someone to guide them Future generations will gain a lot Thank you for lessons well taught 13th March 2021 Inspired by Line Gauthier contest poetry as a legacy
