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!
