Legacy

image.jpeg

I see you in my dreams
I hear you in my mind
I feel you in my heart

I remember the very night
You flew from the land
And from my life

I am married now
I have a beautiful boy
And a daughter who looks like you

You are a grandmother now
Your legacy to the world
Your purpose lives on

I live your lessons every day
In my heart and in my life
And all I have is one tiny message

From my heart to yours
After all this time and what has been
Your baby girl is okay

In response to Daily Post: Legacy

History’s Legacy

Hard Drive has been unearthed
There is a year underneath

2014, can you believe?
That makes it like 200 years old

And what is more
There is a note attached

Very old English
These words we don’t even understand

A note from the owner
The name is Vonita

What would be written?
Handwritten, can you believe?
Captured on paper so antique
Wow, in those days paper was used
Notes all written by hand!

There is a book contained on this drive
It is called Passion through Poetry
In fact there are two books
A children’s book too, Sweet Marigold

And a lot of formatting being done
Mac Pages Enhance button was discovered today
So awesome, it is really a feature of the future

This special day what would it be?
3 November 2014

And there is an image of my mother
That I scanned in today
Taken in about 1954

What would her Legacy be?
What would my Legacy be?

It might not be my books
It might be the lessons I teach my two souls
That they might teach their souls
And on it goes
For years and decades and centuries in turn

My Legacy might not be my words
But then again, it might
