Legacy: April 9, 1985
One life is not all
there is in this world
for all that I can see
are parts of the legacy
God created this world
spreading flowers everywhere
giving the birds their songs
that brightens any day
But none of these compare to
God's greatest legacy to us
He gave Jesus, His only begotten Son,
to die for our sins
Legacies are for the living
a gift to be left behind
perhaps when this is done
it will help someone
But I now wonder as I write
just what hope there is now
for somewhere it is bright
but here it is partly cloudy
The legacy of life is growing
hurrying to its end
life is what I am showing
through the poems I try to write
