In life there comes a time when history has to speak for us,
When our works are to be read out upon opening the annals of time,
When we have to leave indelible footprints on the dusty lanes of life as we walk pass;
It's a time,
When what you knew matters not, but what you taught,
When what you earned becomes insignificant, but what you gave,
When your intentions become irrelevant, but your acts,
When competence avails not, but character,
When prestige becomes mute, but impact speaks out loud;
It's a time when the greatest monuments are mentally, but not physically felt,
It's a time when you have got to labor for the favor of generations unborn,
It's a time when you have got to stay awake to put someone to a good sleep,
It's a time when above all, in all, from all and by all,
Following the right means,
You have got to leave a legacy.
