Leave Behind A Rich Legacy

Leave behind a legacy of love

That no hate-monger can under the carpet shove!

Leave behind a legacy of affection

That always in the world will find traction!

Leave behind a legacy of caring

That everyone feels like sharing!

Leave behind a legacy of reason

Living without which is no less than treason!

Leave behind a legacy of perseverance 

That is truly worthy of reverence!

Leave behind a legacy of good health

Than which there is no greater wealth!

Leave behind a legacy of feeling

Under the impact of the lack of which the whole world is reeling!

Leave behind a legacy of compassion

Out of which a kinder world the posterity can fashion!

Leave behind a legacy of detachment

That transcends every worldly attachment!

Leave behind a legacy of silence

That is an anti-dote to every possible violence!

Leave behind a legacy of laughter

Than which for a sinking person there can be no better rafter!

Leave behind a legacy of mental acuity

Which is the very anti-thesis of the prevailing mental vacuity!

Leave behind a legacy of sanity

That is far removed from all self-delusional vanity!

Leave behind a legacy of unity

That none can dismiss with impunity!

Leave behind a legacy rich in character and worth

Of which in the world there is such dearth!
