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...
yesterday was my last day at work. somehow, i wasnt really happy. yet, i have been looking forward to this day. i knew i have to move on. perhaps it is cos of the people i left behind. but i guess the most regretful thing of this event is that i still have not manage a peaceble ending with my boss. and perhaps i should really have bid her goodbye rather than just leaving lidat. i didnt noe how i shld leave... things seemed to be rather awkward i thought and i thought she might not even want to see me. but deep inside of me, i knew i wanted to treat her with respect but did not how i shld do it. mayb it was the lack of communication or my lack of expression. i thought: why must everything be so politically correct. mayb the human soul is after all fragile. handle with care, every bit of it. this could be the part i've got to work on. we all got to learn. she too must learn. to let go. on my part, be tactful. words that seemed alrite to me, may not be alrite on others. not knowing how to beat around a bush might ultimately be my fatality..haha... authenticity is all i asked for. even if character is rough and is harsh but i accept it as it is. of cos, necessary changes have to be made but it is wat it is and i am grateful.
be true to oneself yet growing in the grace and character of God is wat i am asking for. oh God, lead me on after this... indeed You direct all our steps and even busy Yourself with them. :)
