Legacy: December 21, 1991

Time continues to flow
carrying me on its course
I'm floating to a better day
leaving poems to point the way

Poems are my legacy
telling of my hopes and fears
telling of my victories and defeats
telling of my dreams and nightmares

Like struggling to find a wife
someone to share my life
I came close in recent times
and I'm still trying to win

Oh yes it has been hard
especially with me in school
but I won't give up on my future
and school is important

But whether I'm married or single
whether in school or out of school
God is walking with me
lighting up my pathway
that I must walk to the future

But it hasn't been easy
sometimes I feel like I am
only reaching for illusions

It hurts to be alone
but really I am not
for where ever I go
God is with me

I only wish that sometimes
I can see my future
but given the chance to look
I will refuse it immediately

But I know that one day
I will know all the answers
that will make me whole
until then I will continue to fight

For as long as I live
time will continue to flow
and the legacy will continue
growing as I grow
