We all come from many places
We all see through different eyes
We go through many changes
We learn to laugh at our mistakes
We learn how to see from different perspectives
And as we age
This generation becomes the elders of the next
And as they grow
A realization strikes
The accomplishments made weren't just for us
But for our children
To inspire them
And when they make their own accomplishments
We can see ourselves
We live on in the history books they read
Even if we can't last 'til tomorrow
A legacy can
We all see through different eyes
We go through many changes
We learn to laugh at our mistakes
We learn how to see from different perspectives
And as we age
This generation becomes the elders of the next
And as they grow
A realization strikes
The accomplishments made weren't just for us
But for our children
To inspire them
And when they make their own accomplishments
We can see ourselves
We live on in the history books they read
Even if we can't last 'til tomorrow
A legacy can
when i was a wee eighth grader i was asked to write an read poem at our promotion ceremony. i wanted to state that everything we do, every mistake we make, every speech we make; that's how our children will remember us, and that's how we become immortal, by building a legacy.
