Words Breed
Legacy rattles in my head.
What will I leave behind?
Will what I’ve written help someone in need?
When this body is dead,
Will my words produce seeds or weeds?
Words breed.

I always felt that if one person benefited from something I wrote (even if it wasn’t me) then it was worth writing. And sharing a blog certainly brings our words to new and old friends 🙂
Well done.

Yes. Seeds worth propagating and sharing. Weeds, worth nothing but to be tossed in the fire.
