Up To Us

Feelings let us know

We are mortal.

Love and hate

We can experience.

 

How we handle each

Set us above the animals.

Though I may get an arguement

About that, the way some of us act.

 

Never the less we survive,

Doing the best we can.

In the end we leave

A legacy, will it be good or bad?

Great thinking. I think that poets leave a very good legacy. If the only kind of legacy one leaves is his or her children, then it's no legacy at all.

I would be willing to bet that you will leave a great legacy,
George, though I wish I could feel the same way about myself...-e-
