"Whatchou got?"

Ashes to ashes ...
none of us is getting out of here alive,
so ...
what will you leave?
What kind of legacy are you offering?

I'm not speaking of self-monikered buildings.
Nor am I talking about a trail of trophies
or an avalanche of accolades.
I am referring to those things
that will truly make an impact.

Is it kindness?
Is it compassion?
Is it morality?
Is it tenderness?
Is it love?

Fame and fortune fades.
To give hope and shed light,
to prepare a path for others ...
THAT is a legacy.
