Things you leave behind.

As I look over my life and its experiences I think, “What legacy have I left”?

I’ve always tried to be good and treat others well. I suffer inside when I see your outward pain.
I love the laughter that feels the air like sunshine upon my face, but yet I wonder what legacy have I left.

I guess I’ll just share this thought and hope it serves you well. As my eyes grow dim and my memory fades, this thought comes fresh to my mind.

Never miss out on life and expect nothing but the best, don’t settle for less if you are not happy, regardless.
Don’t pretend in your mind that you’re in a relationship if it’s only and always one sided.

Love is exciting and fresh and fills your heart with joy and laughter.
And smiles that beams upon your face

So let me share this legacy with you before my memory begins to erase…..
