Legacy
Dusty roads and hazy sun;
Another journey has begun.
All good memories I shall keep;
Time to laugh and time to weep.
Down life's highway I'll walk on,
Till my earthly days are done.
Love, I found, was worth the pain;
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Will my legacy live on?
That is up to you, my son.
