Our Legacy

As obvious as it may seem, Our higher life we must redeem. To get full value, its true worth, It’s not a given at one’s birth. First acknowledged, then understood, Overcome ego, become good. Use your energy to create, Our deeper thoughts our true estate. To share the truth that we have gleamed, Our higher self must be redeemed. Legacy: our thoughts repeated. Shows our life is not completed. Life goes on; it is eternal. The body: only a kernel.

The poem is a focused, spiritually resonant piece that invites readers into the discipline of inner transformation. Its moral clarity and thematic coherence are strong. Nice sonnet.

your poem addressed a couple of things with insight...the repetition of our mistakes and the eternity of our soul. Outstanding sonnet, dear hubby. Sonnets are your forte. hugs, me

Bill, you've written a superb sonnet that underlines the value of growth in oneself, discovery, and the search for a higher destiny. It refers to realizing full potential needs purposeful work and insight rather than relying solely on innate features at birth.
