I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
I enjoy an accolade like the rest
if you could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
with all the who's who and so and so's that used to be the best
-
at such and 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
in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
the temporary trappings of this world
I wanna 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 lengthy 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
I just want to hear instead
"Well done," good and faithful one!
