This week I am sharing two Inspirational Poems that I have found and love.  Hoping you find meaning and connection as you take a moment to pause with gratitude and love.  

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 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 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.
