A greater legacy is left behind <br />far greater than wealth <br />when one lives <br />amidst the loneliness <br />amidst the solitude <br />without disclosing unhappiness <br />that sits on his shoulders <br />which are too weak to hold it <br />yet he endures his times <br />with resilience, with humility <br />and then dies with fortitude <br />when death summons, <br />O' it is far greater legacy left behind <br />far greater than wealth. <br />(Dedicated to an Uncle who died of Cancer at the age of 80)<br /><br />Bernedita Rosinha Pinto<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/final-courage/
