legacy

legacy

coursing through my veins, directing my existence,
lifeblood, DNA containing the legacy of my ancestors
heroes, scoundrels, paupers, royalty, saints, average folk,
their footprints in the dust long disbursed to the wind
and me here, now, my simple life carrying us on anonymously

  Thank you Peter. Had a bit of a scare with one of old dogs Winston over the last several weeks. Not much sleep! waiting on lab results still. hoping it’s something manageable. i’m ready for 2020 to be over! 😳
