Testament of Succession The one who lifts me from obscurity Is now the son who once was named for me The name my mother gave me is rising Floating to the sun from the ocean floor As life triumphs at the last surprising Death and chasing it away from this door A dusk a dawn and then the noon shall see The wheel turn for a generation more My son remember one who loved you so And break the surface of the sea to soar Go tell the world that secret we both know Gift of my mother given once before With you as with me wherever you go Witness my hand and understand my will The one who lifts me from obscurity Born of the water which powers the mill Is now the son who once was named for me The wheel my mother turned is turning still +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVI

Yes succession is such big part of the human soul and without it we are as the animals mindless and souless and when the end comes so much sand in the wind. Felix
