Legacy- by Noor Rahim

Legacy is a very important aspect in life; among us Homo sapiens

The word is a depiction of life’s attribute that has a very deep meaning

Dependent on one’s contribution to kith & kin; and to other fellow beings

With requirements to set moral standards, for others following

As a noun legacy means wealth/property left as an inheritance

And as an adjective, denoting a system that paves the way for betterment in living

But in our lives, what matters most is the adjective meaning of Legacy

For your wealth will be only measured in your contribution to the communities well being

For what you leave behind is the reflection of your own standards

This would be reflective of the folks under your wing

As one may see of the folks under the shadow of your ambiance

You example will surely show case your radiance that is ever lasting

It was in a movie that I heard a sequence

That when one leaves this world his/her legacy will be lingering

Through the good deeds and moral performance

But most importantly the knowledge he/she leaves behind, that benefits everyone in the offing
