My Legacy
After reading Elizabeth's poem 'Present', I decided to write my version.
I don’t have anything to offerNor anyone to offer it toBut I give you my lasting friendshipWhich is worth far more than you knowWhen I leave this worldAnd turn to ashes in minutesI lay under the old oak treeTill I’m swept away by the windNot many people know meUnless you’ve read my poemsIn two hundred and fifteen pagesMy poetry shows my feelingsOn friends and family I careThe boundless love I haveFailures and disappointments are manySo is my passion what I live forHappy and sad eventsMixed with laughter and tearsMy poetry may tell you the storyIf I achieved what I was sent forTHIS IS MY LEGACY I LEAVEDays and nights of writingIf you haven’t read my poemsYou wouldn’t know me at allThese pages would sadly disappearWhen I’m flown away by the wind
