Leaving Memories

What should I take with me?
Nothing I will leave behind of me, in earth?
What my heart should do?
In vane we have come, to sprout in earth?
Lets leave at least the flowers
Lets leave at least the songs.

Nezahualcoyotl.

  2. Such a good philosophy. I found these lines which I think have the same feeling

    in time of daffodils who know
    The goal of living is to grow.
