Legacy
My legacy is love…
not on a tombstone, in news articles,
photo albums, jewelry drawers,
bank accounts or foundation names.
My legacy is love…
like in the flowing of a creek,
the breeze across the prairie,
the soft illumination of the moon,
and the yearning deep within to connect.
My legacy is love…
it started long ago,
blossoms a little more each day,
and will last forever.
My legacy, my love,
is what we have created together.
