What We Leave Behind

no one is exempt
from what we leave behind...
not even the earth

You are correct my friend, no one is exempt, however what we leave behind is less important than what we create for the future. Always look ahead not behind, Well written, well meant, and well thought. God Bless and Happy Holidays.. Taz
