One thing in life is definite <br />All men will turn to dust <br />For short is life and finite <br />This lesson, learn we must. <br /> <br />So when its time for us to go <br />What will we leave behind? <br />Will there be tears and empty sorrow? <br />Or wisdom in our words they find? <br /> <br />Our names be written in their memory <br />Not wasted into nothingness <br />May people learn from our story <br />And learning thus, we live to bless.<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-will-we-leave-behind/
