Analysis of Parting Thoughts 2
Report on your adulthood and life-choices you made:
the posturing selected
both real and masquerade.
Mention hopes and broken dreams although plans were well laid;
places you were genuine
and where there was charade.
Talk of mate and children and the care you had for them.
Leave some personal counsel
to add to their wisdom.
Recount your costly errors their foolishness to stem.
Give perspectives on matters
useful for years to come.
In your journal legacy tell of your heritage,
how your genes were passed along:
progenitor's lineage.
Get into personal traits, the DNA signage:
demark characteristics
from your own parentage.
