Think of Me

I always wonder about my legacy
It's usually just in passing
But I do often
I wonder about what I'm doing for me
And what I'm doing for others
I question have I lived life?
Or have I just lived?
I know that everyone has a number
But what should they do before it comes up?
Do I take a break today?
For there is no tomorrow
Do I reminsce today?
Since I won't have another yesterday
Do I give that dollar today?
So I can ask for one tomorrow
Do I stay up tonight?
For I'll have forever to sleep tomorrow
I always wonder about my legacy
I question it everyday without fail
It's not that I worry about my soul
Or my heart
My will to achieve, to be somebody
I wonder about how people will remember me
Now, what do they see?, If I die will I have a tree?
I wonder about my legacy

"Pay the Debts"

There are debts to be paid,
I am not looking for much,
Maybe an acknowledgement, a look, an apology,
Doesn't have to be long, detailed, eloquent,
Doesn't have to be fancy, cool, or fun-
I just need it to be fullfilled...
You owe me something,
There is no money involved,
Just your time, compassion, heart,
Don't have to dwell on the past,
Don't have to think about the future-
I just need something mow...
There are debts to be paid,
I don't want an indentured servant,
Just my friend, my right hand, my life,
I'm not gonna give a date and time-
I'm not gonna beg and plead-
I'm not giving reason without rhyme-
I'm just telling you what I need, want, and am looking for...
Just those debts to be paid.
