Legacy Poems
For Bree, Paulie, Brooke, George & Sydnie...with love
by Raina Hutchins
I know I don't have millions
To leave you in my will
But what I have for each of you
Is something greater still
I have a few possessions
For each of you to keep
Photographs and memories
I know will make you weep

A Prayer To The Goddess, Ganga
by Pijush Biswas
O Ganga, who doth not take pride in thy arms
The earthly life, scornful, is always proud of thy touch
O Ganga, who doth not take pride in thy divine alms
O thou, let the life be full of joy and happiness much.
Thou, look into our eyes; somewhere thou must be.
Now, our lives today are so uplifted anew by thy privacy
Or, into the core of our lives we seek thy eternity,
Open eyed, to manure lives, or to be heir to thy legacy.
Let us seek beauty in thee, O! let us be free from obscurity.

Like a Shadow
by Ela Omoosin
A legacy stretches like a shadow,
From life's journey to the afterglow,
Offsprings carry the torch we bear,
A lineage of stories, love, and care.
Life's work etched in time's firm embrace,
Leaving footprints in its endless chase,
Ideologies woven, a tapestry grand,
Guiding future generations to understand.
