We leave a piece of us
In the words we speak
In the stories we write;
In the tales we tell.
We leave a piece of us
In the lessons we teach,
In the messages we preach,
In the things we share.
People have pieces of us
through things said to them,
Through the anger we spewed,
Through the hatred we've shared.
They have pieces of us
through the care we gave,
The alms we have given,
The love we spread.
We leave our whole selves
In the lives we've lived,
In the people we've met,
Through those we've inspired;
Through the children we've created.
Our lives are pieces of us
Cast in memories as iron;
With impressions beautiful to admire;
With actions ugly to loathe.
We leave pieces of us in all we do.

Woke Up this afternoon with this in my head. Afternoon Dreams are simply weird.
