LEGACY - nicole nordeman
I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
read here about it.
just finished reading/ flipping thru the new paper (yes, i do read that), and i found myself reading the some of the amazng things. one of which is that ppl was keeping vigil for the aussie drug criminal with vietnam name(pls be aware that im not being racist or nationalist or watever u call that, my english not that gd anyway). i reali cant believe it man! y are ppl getting so work up over him when he has done wrong? im nt saying that im condemning him or saying that he shldnt get a chance, but to the extent of keeping vigil for him when he drug traffick! to me, i duno how to say, but ppl all over the world now are standing up for things that shldnt be standing up for. and keeping quiet for those things that should be stood up. ridiculous!
