What I Long to Be.
We all go through some very difficult times one way or another. In one such time when I was giving much thought to my life and that famous word my," legacy." I wrote these words.
What I Long to Be.
I long to live as gently as I can,
Soft and worthy as a man
To face life daily good or bad,
To remember, for what it is I stand.
When failure comes as oft it does,
To take it by the hand.
To learn from moments such as these.
A better man to better, please.
To never give to shame or sin.
That I may be at peace within.
To stand for what I know is right.
And never fear to face that fight.
To leave some simple things behind.
That those that follow, have me in their mind.
To be at one as each day comes.
With earth and water, wind and fire
the gentle man is my desire.
That some may look, consider me kind.
Give thanks for what I leave behind.
Legacy is one of those words that have taken so many meanings. How we will be remembered is what in the end really does matter and is worthy of some thought.
