My Legacy

 My Passions for many years:

Family history and geneology.

Always asking 

“Why . . ..

“Where . . .

“when. . . .

“how. . .

Seeking the answer to 

“how did I become me?”

Seeking the answer to

“how I can honor them?”

Seeking the answer to

“Do I make them proud?”

Now, I will soon be the ancestor.

Have I answered mh descendants questions?

Will my legacy be

my offices and honors 

in the community:

already forgotten?

Will my legacy be 

photos and memories

of Disney cruises

passed down, 

But turning dusty?

Will my legacy be

our life savings

handed down,

doled out

and, then spent

Or, will my legacy be

my writing—-

not found in the records of where, when and how.

But, of my soul

whispering why.
