What Will You Leave Behind?
What will you leave behind?
Will you be a parent teaching your children to read or ride a bike?
Will you be a dreamer who will write a great novel? or compose a 9th Symphony?
Or write a book of poems?
Will you create a company and employ 100's of people?
Will you shoot for the stars and land on Mars?
Will you become a Doctor or a Nurse and help those in need?
Will you become a teacher and help shape young minds?
Will you become a politician and shape the future of mankind?
Will you make a difference?
So what will you leave behind?

Author's Note
Found out today another person I knew of died and I got to thinking and pondering at work as some music was playing and the artist was also dead so the mind started to wonder.

My sympathies for the loss of your friend, Stan.
I can see that affected this write and it's fitting questions as you ponder. Your thoughts are deep and I can empathize. Here's to hoping we become the best versions of ourselves and leave behind the world a tinge of a better place than it was without us...
Thank you for sharing.
Much love and respect,
