Legacy
I’ll just leave you this, a little scribble about legacy.
Legacy, opportunity for those to come
Or a little pride for those already gone.
If I can create safety for others that's all the legacy I need.
Have you ever tripped on a footprint?
I owned a shire horse once, William.
Biggest horse breed in the world, huge feet.
Huge prints, distracted, I've tripped on a few.
Avoid unnecessary footprints others fall over.
Other than that footprints leave little impression at all,
Unless fossilized they will eventually wash away.
Penniless and possessionless we all come and go.
Will I die in peace? No I will live on for eternity
“Take only memories, leave only footprints”.
Chief Seattle
Legacy, opportunity for those to come,
Or pride for those already gone.
If I leave nothing I bequeath no danger
If remembered for treading firmly but softly.
Causing no harm to what no one can own
Opportunity for those after to receive less in spoil.
Of what we are all intimately part of.
The consistency of intimacy amongst people.
None of us
can bequeath what none of us can own
