What do you want to be remembered for?
03/2021
Inspiration and perspiration
Work hard to reach your destination
The call of paradise and sweet delight
Beckons us into the night
Driving home on my own
To my throne I’m in the zone
To acknowledge the blessings
Of first world wealth
To love with gratitude
Our continued good health
Plenty of everything
And everything in place
The trials of life
Written on my face
Keep Mum sweet
Make Dad proud
Find my feet and say out loud
Life is beautiful
Life is bliss
Life is as profound
As a very first kiss
Souls get born into the world
Souls go home into the next
Still looking for that special girl
Still working hard to be my best
Give thanks
Be real
Never give up
Go through this world like superman
Live and die like a champion
Eternity will remember everything

I don’t do much rhyming stuff but this one felt right.
I think a lot about the fact that everything you do and even what you don’t do will be part of the history of the world and indeed the universe for eternity. The question is what do you want to be remembered for?
What do you want to be your impact on this amazing world?
Very well evoked reflection for our times, skillfully crafted and rhymed

A profoundly evocative question, beautifully presented and expressed. For me, it was always filling the need to help others, including animals, to be of service. Only now I can write, and perhaps, I will have enough time to leave something of interest behind.
Thank you.
