Legacy

I once thought my life would be

like a drop rippling in an endless sea.

Instead, I find no drop at all

comes from my life, into it fall.

But like a seed into the ground

slowly digging, growing down.

My life, like roots, sink deep below

to find nourishment to overflow.

Forever forging deeper still

until its roots completely fill.

Giving life to a growing tree,

a link into eternity.
