Eve of Life In the eve of life one finds a place, to shelter in the human race. A race one ran, and maybe won, or lost, and cried and had some fun. But still, a place where all must pause and contemplate, what was the cause, for reaching here the way we are, counting blessings and each scar. But as we pause, life still goes on, more races still wait to be won. Although, experience will help, by now just moving makes us yelp. But move we must, new challenge take or what we've won we will forsake. For only grimly hanging in, will help us live again to win. And win we must, for our souls sake for what we've won in death we'll take and also leave for those to share who helped us with their loving care. For what we are, and what we do, will forever still shine through in those we touched along the way... our legacy is here to stay. Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

What lovely thoughts, you have so eloquently expressed in this poem on life and living. You, m'dear poet, are creating a legacy through your poetry which is rife with recipes on grace-filled living!  Namaste, Linda  |

Linda, Thank you! I knew there was something wrong in the final words I gave to this and you responded in time for me to be able to edit it! I have changed 'heritage' to 'legacy' which more closely fits my meaning. (This becomes the receivers heritage). Your words have added meaning to this.... Ivor |

excellent write, loved the lines: "For what we are, and what we do, will forever still shine through in those we touched along the way... our legacy is here to stay." remember one professor in college who loved to repeat "you will be the same one year from now, except for the books you've read and the people you meet" suppose, that shall be our legacy...touching the lives of those we meet... |

Passing shadows, Stevenr, Thank you both for the kind words. "you will be the same one year from now, except for the books you've read and the people you meet" and a few wrinkles of course.... Ivor |
