Passage 2
Legacy
H. Bright
Paint the sky with brushstrokes
of your imagination
It’s your realm that awaits you
to build your legacy.
5 All clear and open for you to create
your footprints in the sky
and leave your mark on the world
and the horizons beyond.
Use the blue canvas stretched before you
10 to paint stories of joy and love
And images of hope will light up
the dawn of your aspirations
that glisten o’er
the sea of promise and possibility
15 And the shores it touches are all yours
to seek your dreams and
fulfill your legacy!!
