My legacy

What is my legacy

Do I have one

Be sure, I do

Everyone does

Whether we want one or not

Whether we think about it or not

My legacy is being written

Every moment of my life

By every thought

By every utterance

By every action

By the mark of my presence

By the impact of an encounter with me

By my impact on the quality of life of others

I cannot contrive my legacy

I cannot fully know what it is

But I know this

My legacy is fashioned

From the contents of my heart

From the quality

Of my integrity

Of my sincerity

Of my compassion

From living my own truths

Without compromise

Without fear
