LEGACY by Nicholas Stephens

The goal isn't to live forever,but to create something that will,

Not our riches, not the vanity,

But a legacy that we built.

Legacies that live on for generations to come

All the achievements, all the struggles,

All that we did during our time under the sun

A hard earned legacy that left us bruised with scars

A long term achievement that will be written in the stars

A prestigious honour that kept us awake for countless nights

A memorabilia that commemorates our struggles and almost impossible sacrifice

Create a legacy that will dry the tears of the hopeless

And will heal the hearts of the broken

Preserve a legacy that can heal the scars of the battered

And revitalize the veins of the fainted hearts

Create and preserve legacy for generations to come,

For our namesakes, for our nations and for our future sons

A legacy left behind that will forever keep angels protecting our souls

Legacies that transition into stories that can never grow old

The gold and silvers we preserve will somehow become rust

And the great walls we build will one day return to the dust

But legacies will live on and add honorable titles to our names

So the generations to come will hear stories of the roads we paved
