His Legacy

Some men work and sweat and bleed,
To win success and fame.
Some will strive in pride and greed
To build themselves a name.

Some will look back on their life,
And wonder what they’ve done.
For all they’ve built in pain and strife
Will vanish when they’re gone.

But you’ll live on long after death
For all you’ve said and done.
You’ll live in me while I have breath.
I’m proud to be your son.
