Sometimes I wonder if I have already reached
The pinnacle of my life, if time has bleached
The vigor of youth completely out of me
I wonder if in future I would be
Energetic, insouciant as I was before
Or would my future steps be measured much more..
*
The finite nature of life’s years I recognize
I know any moment life can throw a surprise
So I feel compelled that I should design
An intentional life, keeping in mind
My purpose in life, the legacy I would like to leave
Be true to the ideals in which I believe
My younger years were as a consumer spent
I soaked in the abundance of life, but now my intent
Is to give back to the world in some way
I am trying to give shape to what I have to say
Something that adds value to the society as a whole
Not just create noise, not be mere hyperbole
*
What shall I leave behind, and for whom?
This is a broad question, with substantial room
For interpretation, I am trying to find
The most concise reply to this question in my mind
In my journey henceforward I shall continue to try
To create a legacy to leave under the sky
Passion...unbridled
