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...
i was juz thinking... am i.. a person who is heartless... heartless in the sense of.. not being cruel.. but more of... not much feelings towards things ard me.. maybe except myself. true enuf, i care enuf for all my frens and family... or i think... but as these few mths or weeks past by... frens with problems or even when my family has a problem, i will be able to look past so easily. without even a thought of them. no words of encouragement. no words of condolences. it makes me wonder: do i really really care? they seemed to be all behind my mind until they came face to face with me again. do i noe wat is love? do i contain love within me? and wat exactly is love? how does love express itself? hw wld Jesus behave if He is in my shoes. is my heart numb towards things ard me? sighz.. im not exactly feeling emo.. but more of... wat kind of person am i? do i noe how to love?? or issit that protective shell of me coming on again. seemingly able to block all those unhappy memories or things that i dun wan to face or noe. those training since young... issit really like wat most psychologist says, that the mind is able to block those things that the person himself doesnt wan to remember?
