The Legacy
She could not give her children gold,
so she gave them faith to have and hold. . .
She could not give them royal birth,
a name renowned throughout the earth.
But, she gave them seeds and a garden spot,
and shade trees when the sun was hot.
She could not give a silver spoon,
or servants waiting night and noon.
She gave them love and a listening ear,
and told them God was always near.
She could not give them ocean trips,
aboard majestic sailing ships,
But, she gave them books and a quiet time,
Adventures found in prose and rhyme.
She could not give them worldly things,
but what she gave was fit for kings.
For with her faith, and books, and sod,
She made each child aware of God.
