Legacy

By Rachaal Immerman Steel

He is my spring day

She is my autumn night.

She is my earth, and my welcome home.

Through her I see history and family.

She is fine black words on beautiful paper,

words of strength and power.

She is comfort and companionship,

All my heart and will could become.

He is my sky,

The morning sun in my window.

Through him I see the future and family.

He is my guided map,

Twists and turns, codes and puzzles.

And a never-ending teacher.

He is laughter, she is tears

He is standards, she is approval.

I am him, she is me.
