We each have one life to live,
We all have one gift to give.
In my life I hope one thing is true.
The one thing I impart with is you.
I hope you tell your children when I am gone.
Tell them all about your mom.
I anticipate a lifetime of dreams.
Such robust memories bursting at the seams.
Remember the times, I held you in my arms.
Know that I cherished your childhood charms.
When you feel the cool breeze blow through your hair.
Know that I am always there.
Just a small piece of love, stitched to your heart.
My hand in yours forever embossed because we shall never part.
You where my dreams come true
In life all I dreamed of was you.
The moment I heard your very first cry.
It was the first time I ever was afraid to die.
For the first time life finally made sense.
All of it came together in present tense.
Frozen in time as they laid you on my chest.
It was this moment I knew I was blessed.
My legacy is one of love.
One that is sent from up above.
You where my gift from God.
Who was I to let him down.
My legacy is one of faith.
With out faith, life is not worth living.
With out love, life is not worth giving.
So love, live and remember life is not ours, we are here on borrowed time.
It can be gone tomorrow, so love with all you have. Live like your going to die tomorrow.
Trust in God because he will guide you.
Choose the path that is not always easy but at least it is always right.
Never surrender to the enemy you must win this fight.
Trust in Jesus because he has saved you.
Choose to wear the garment of white.
Never forget, what your doing is right.
So when I am dead and gone. I hope my children will carry on.
My living legacy one of faith, hope, love and life.
Author notes
I hope when I die to leave a legacy of my children. I hope they remember how much I loved them. How much they meant to me. I hope they have faith in God and never lose that faith. I hope they understand what it is I taught them. I hope when I am gone they remember me with a smile and not a frown. I love you babies all of you.

good write. very beautiful how it flows together. i don't have kids yet and i don't know if i will so i can say i want my kids to do that. i would just rather have forgiveness from certain members of my family. it's a good write. i enjoyed reading it.
