Witness for Good

© By Kathy Armijo

 

 

When our life is ended …

Where will the journey culminate?

The good will know joy at being reunited with kindred

 

Each person is born as a witness for truth and goodness

Yet, few leave such a legacy

For it is difficult to live a life filled with selflessness

 

How does each of us achieve this goal?

Do we let others walk over us?

No, we go forward with a calm, gentle soul … 

 

We hold steadfast to our conscience …

We stand for truth and justice …

We exhibit moderation and temperance …

 

We demonstrate humility

Taking a backseat to notoriety

Accepting people’s praise graciously

 

Blessed are those who leave a tradition of love

Their lives being a witness to peace, kindness, and a gentle soul

All the while giving honor to Him from above

I wonder why it is that so few of us think about what we are leaving behind until just before we step onto the bridge to a spirit world.
In my AD posted poem "IF," I take the cheater's way out.

Thought-provoking lyrics, Kathy.

Dear Kathy, I came across your lovely poem,it is not easy to leave a legacy which shows only goodness. But we are not the only ones to decide about our legacy. We have to do our best even if it doesn't come across as we want it to do. The intention is the relevant factor. Enjoy your life and let the future generation determine what good we left. Love Emile

You're right--This is good.
Just a few words to live our lives by.
But "moderation"? Darn.
This made me feel good.
Love ya--RaeLynn

"the good men do is oft interred with their bones -- while the evil lives on forever" -- if not an exact quote, very close and capturing the essence of what it meant anyway -- there is a great deal of inspiration and love in your poem Kathy -- peace and love to you this day -- JMW

When my life run the last inch I hope that the children that went ahead of me be there to greet Daddy with the same expectation I have to meet them again.
God bless.

A thought provoking write. You have inferred that the culmination of life is death and what we have left behind in the hearts of others. Nicely done.
