legacy

today.
i have put on a pair of bigger pearls.
the definition to my action is void.
but i wear my pearls today.

today.
i will be introduced to new people.
see faces i've seen before
anticipating their arrival.
but i wear my navy pants today.

today.
i prepare my heart to lead.
to prepare other hearts to lead.
one day to take my place,
but i wear my hair a little different today.

today.
with all this to say
my dreams on my sleeve
and my troubles gone far away
i anticipate the arrival of those to go before me.
and i attire in dresscode
to example what i would hope to leave
a legacy.
