Legacy

The stages in life swiftly pass by
The days are numbered, and death will draw nigh
We're born; we live, one day we'll die
An inevitable process, but to its law we must comply

We have dreams and ambitions
So much we want to reach for 
For all of them we have reasons
And that drives and pushes us even more

We only have one life to live
The wheel of life turns slowly but surely
A second chance is only for God to give
And not everyone will get it, for some die prematurely
What stands before us are opportunities
While we're living in the face of present scrutiny
We must not give up our dream
"I will make it" should be our only theme

Look at life from the eyes that are above
For they that cheer you on left a legacy of love
A legacy of faith
A legacy of hope
A legacy of patience
A legacy that is left and known around the globe

What you do today, tomorrow will be a headline story
But without an impact, it can only just be history
Know to none, but only to you
For you will be the one that will account for what you do

So make a choice and choose wisely
Look at yourself and regard your chance highly
What you shall be depends on the decision made presently
For while you live, you're leaving a legacy

What will it say?
