Legacy To My Children

by Flo Lockhart*

I do not know
From whence I came
But this I know
For a little time
I have been allowed to be here.

I feel that in no way
Have I reached my potential.

I loved to sing
I did a little
But withheld a lot.

I felt rhythm strongly
So I danced a little
But withheld a lot.

I liked to talk
I did a little
But withheld a lot.

I liked to write
I did a little
But withheld a lot

I want to know
I do a little
But ther is so much more

I love
But I can't show it much.

I want to reach out
To comfort and heal
But---

*Used with permision of Flo Lockhart and Family.

I don't know what I was before
Nor how I came to be here
Nor What I will be after---
But I am greatful
For my sojourn here.

This little piece of time
Was mine alone
A special gift to me
What ever I am.

I will leave---
But the world will know
I was here
Because I will leave
Something behind.

You!

There is a little bit of me
In you
And that little bit will

Sing a little
Dance a little
Talk a little
Write a little
Know a little
Love a little
Comfort a little---

And the world will know
That you were here
Because you will leave
Something behind.
