"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of. The tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln


Death is a scary thing. 

A malicious thing. 

A woeful thing. 

 

Death stops Life, 

As a timekeeper stops time. 

Yet, Death can't stop one thing- 

The Untouchable thing. 

 

Legacy, 

A shining candle on a stormy night, 

is hope beyond Life,

Beyond Death.

 

Life is a banana tree, 

And Legacy its fruit- 

Months of endurance, 

For only one harvest.
