As Example

My Mom (Dot, Dottie, Mumsie) with her grandchildren.
(a few years before Tyler's arrival)

As Example
1/27/10

Every person is this
in how they maneuver,
navigate their life journey,
make sense of experiences
through each yearly cycle
depending the risks taken
and 'breaks' that follow,
there is story depiction
to be told later
by those who remember,
having shared same air,
sunshine, storms, full moons,
perhaps inextricably tied together
because of blood connection,
friends as extended family,
lovers for a time,
any number of reasons
that leave historic mark
after we're long gone,
legacy is often used
for physical output created,
in literature, art, business,
whatever specific archive reveals,
but it's the intangibles
always surrounding one's being,
of invisible spiritual nature,
a radiant generous heart,
genuinely giving, receiving, alike
which imprints as example.
