The Fall

Be an example of what is true,

seek to the innocent ways of a child...

..and be mindfull in all you do.

And know your actions are your legacy.

Speak of skies and rainbows,

and show humility.

Be careful, the Fall...

..for it is coming.

I had on new shoes, ones that I was assured knew their way,

my vision was focused,

and I was mindful of all around me...

..and my actions were my legacy.

Gone were the skies and rainbows,

for those things fade and change.

Then I fell.

It had come to fruition.

Now I know to own each moment I walk through,

as best as I can.

Even though my shoes were now scuffed,

my hair was mussed, and my clothes askew...

..I held my head as high as possible,

and succombed, not

to the Fall.

And my actions will forever be, my legacy.
