What dear friend will your legacy be? <br />Will it become a tabloid headline, <br />For all our world to read? <br /> <br />Will it make a possitive difference of worlds view? <br />Or will it be what negatively now, was created by you? <br /> <br />Will this cancer breed to others' nearest to you? <br />Of Uncle or Brother-in-law or your young Nephew? <br /> <br />Will they become imprisoned, caged like an endangered bird? <br />Will their lives have been meaningless? <br />Of an inner goodness never heard? <br /> <br />Think twice before you leap, <br />For the price is too high. <br />Of the legacy you leave, <br />In anothers heart and their eyes.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-legacy/
