I feel as though everyone wonders what they have to offer the world. What will my mission be? to love my life and be successful. I want to learn more to love and accept the life I live. To utilize every moment that I have because it is irretrievable. Life has so many obstacles and risk within in and your life can really go in any direction. As anxious as I am to know where I will be ten, fifteen or thirty years from now only time will tell.
A legacy is what you leave behind; what other people can remember you by. Something that others will know you created or are strongly affiliated with. I am not sure what I want to be remembered as; I just want to be successful and provide for myself and my family. I don't really want to leave a legacy on the world as much as I want to leave a legacy for my loved ones. I want recognition as the person who persevered through it all and came out on top. I want to be known as the one who worked hard to get where I am who traveled the world and took care of her family.
As a writer it is somewhat significant to leave a legacy, I can admit leaving a legacy as a young and prominent writer would be amazing. It would be something I have been dreaming about ever since I was a child; growing up it has been a goal just to publish a book. Taking my success to that level is definitely something I want to be remembered for. So there than making a difference in my family's lives I want to be known as a successful writer. I want to encourage writers all over the world that with dedication and hard work your dreams can easily become a reality.
AFTERLIFE
I release my soul upon this hallowed ground
I find my mind racing to the memory I have found
I see her as she waves to me from afar
I wave an unsteady hand at a distant star
Love surrounds me as I travel from dream to dream
I shed no more tears as I wander, or so it would seem
Youth far away and gone I now see my grandpas face
A dream with a smile cast upon my soul, a mere trace
Try as I might I cannot explain the warm tears
There is truth in my eyes chasing away my fears
How sweet and happy those things of which I dream
I find my mind racing to the memory I have found
I see her as she waves to me from afar
I wave an unsteady hand at a distant star
Love surrounds me as I travel from dream to dream
I shed no more tears as I wander, or so it would seem
Youth far away and gone I now see my grandpas face
A dream with a smile cast upon my soul, a mere trace
Try as I might I cannot explain the warm tears
There is truth in my eyes chasing away my fears
How sweet and happy those things of which I dream
Her sweet hugs cover my heart like strawberry cream
I find my shadow has long since departed my soul
Her whispers angel songs before I once more go
Wandering back to earth I find a locket of gold,I arise again
Wanting to get to heaven, now my only worldly sin
I find my shadow has long since departed my soul
Her whispers angel songs before I once more go
Wandering back to earth I find a locket of gold,I arise again
Wanting to get to heaven, now my only worldly sin
Bianca,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem! Very beautiful and majestic in its nature.
Nice work.
I think that leaving the legacy behind of being someone who can persevere is great... and an author at that.
Try to think of a few more accomplishments and adjectives that you'd like to be affiliated with - forever.
Try to diversify your dream, spread it out, spread it wide, so that you have an array of options, choices, victories, and defeats.
Keep growing wider as you grow taller.
Expand into new interests and keep sharpening the skills you have.
