Your children ought not be your legacy, Proud parent of your treasured progeny Without conditions, as is only fair. Your children ought not be your legacy: They must be themselves, as generously You shine upon them, all the while aware You're on your own, as you were meant to be, The sole contender of your destiny, No matter how much love you choose to share. Your children ought not be your legacy, Inspired to fulfill your fantasy And not their own, displaced beyond repair. You're on your own, as you were meant to be, As all are in our longings ultimately, Though we remain in one another's care. Your children ought not be your legacy. You're on your own, as you were meant to be. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. Audio and Video Music: Falling Snow.
