What legacy will you leave behind - how would you have it said ..

If you could write the words in stone - that passer's by could read ?

What lines would tell the story - that would speak out loud and true 

That tell others of your walk through life - and show a glimpse of you 

Would the writing speak of triumph - of fighting a good fight ..

Of staying to the journey's end - and doing what is right ?

Of loving when the going's tough - of rising when pushed down ..

Because the end was worth the prize - to gain the victor's crown ?

Could it be said - that you were faithful - to the Lover of the lost ..

That you gave your all to follow Him - no matter what the cost ?

That you stayed the course - though the climb was steep -

that led to your calvary..

That you carried your cross - in obedience - to the One who set you free 

Will others have seen your courage.

Could they say that you did your best ..

Will you be known as a friend of God..

 
When you're finally laid to rest .


by S.C.Mitchell.
