Legacy

A meaningful or harmful thing some-

one special or inconsiderate said which

stuck in the memory all these years.

A good or bad deed done which is

considered worthy of praise or admon-

ishment.

A red rose given with love which remains

pressed to this day between the pages of a

favorite book.

A museum or library, a highway, street

or bridge named after a hero or philan-

throper. The annuls of history written.

A legacy, could be a bronze or marble

statue, a monument to honor the vener-

ated who contributed or served.

Or could be a child who carries on the

family name as the lifeline of light sacri-

fice, kindness and consideration.

Look around you, we are the only species

to honor and defame. And by choice or ran-

dom chance, our legacy, which to claim?
