LEGACY

MY WORDS
*
ARE NOT
AND
HAVE NEVER
BEEN
ABOUT YOU
*
THEY HAVE
AND
ALWAYS WILL BE
ABOUT ME!
*
A
SAFE HAVEN
*
A
PLACE I CAN
LAY
MY HURTS
MY ANGER
TO REST
*
A
PLACE TO SHARE
MY JOY
MY LOVE
MY PEACE
*
SO IF YOU
COME HERE
TO RELIVE
YOUR PAST
*
YOU WON'T
FIND IT
HERE
*
MY HOPE IS
SOMEDAY
MY DAUGHTER
HER CHILDREN
AND
THEIRS
*
WHEN I
HAVE
BEEN LONG GONE
*
DEPARTED
FROM THIS
EARTH
*
THAT THEY
WILL
FIND ME HERE
*
MY LEGACY
*
MY WORDS

  1. Karen,

    I, who have no children, no grandchildren, and no family to speak of, other than my beloved husband, appreciate greatly the words you have written here, and share your desire to clarify that this is your place and that you would like it to be found one day, left behind as your legacy and gift to your children, grandchildren, and, perhaps, even ersatz children.

    Thank you for having stopped by ...Spit and Baling Wire... and for, especially, having taken the time to leave your lovely comment. I was gratified to read it and touched that you decided to transcend your terror about writing it.
