Legacy
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Although it may seem to some
you are lost to us,
You are with us.
You enrich and make a difference
In our lives as we continue to grow
Your presence affects how we
View the world
As we continue in our struggles.
With impressions
of your life upon us
Changing how we view ourselves
as you guide us
As our spiritual journey continues
Touching our spiritual being
We feel uplifting effects in your presence
Which carry us thru crucial moments
As milestones in our lives happen
We continue to feel
we will prevail
Somehow, at times
Though our very lives
may hang in the balance
We live on with you
in our memory
This is the legacy
given us In you
