Before you die
Leave a legacy
And you'll never die
Because great minds live
They never die

Before you die
Plant a tree
It will outlive you
That the fruits may grow
And feed the next generation

When you finally die
You'll look back and say
Of a truth, I gave everything
Until i gave my all
And it is finished...

Don't run after shekels
It is pure vanity
Don't be entrapped by ego
You'll be like Nebuchadnezzer
Tell me, do you have a legacy?

Everybody knows their date of birth?
None, their date of death?
To this end, stop surviving
Start living, leave a mark
History will be kind to you

When you stand before HIM
Like the parable of the talent
How will you account for your talents?
It is never late to do right
Destinies awaits your manifestations

Support a foundation
Volunteer at special schools
Deploy your gifts freely
That's why teacher's are gods
They ascend to heaven direct

Before I die
At a ripe old age
If Jesus tarries
I'll live a mark
For generations yet unborn

The real question is
Do Poets really die?
Do Authors really die?
Your guess is as good as mine
Their works makes them immortal

From the jungles of Africa
To the Samba of South America
The Islands of the Carribean
And the serenity of Australia
I have journeyed with my pen

When I finally cross
When it is finished
Don't cry for me
Life is not in duration
But in donation
And this is a testament
