Analysis of Legacies
Some will leave a legacy as a glacial heart
Some will leave a legacy in a work of art
Some will leave a legacy for an empty nest
Some will leave a legacy as a noble quest
Some will leave a legacy as a wicked storm
Some will leave a legacy in a printed form
Some will leave a legacy as a vicious crook
Some will leave a legacy by a skillful cook
Some will leave a legacy as a creepy freak
Some will leave a legacy with a fashion chic
Some will leave a legacy as a awful wretch
Some will leave a legacy in a painted sketch
Some will leave a legacy as a bitter grape
Some will leave a legacy in a sculpted shape
Some will leave a legacy as a selfish soul
Some will leave a legacy with a worthy goal
Some will leave a legacy in a broken home
Some will leave a legacy in an honest poem
