Final Courage Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Final Courage

Rating: 4.6


A greater legacy is left behind
far greater than wealth
when one lives
amidst the loneliness
amidst the solitude
without disclosing unhappiness
that sits on his shoulders
which are too weak to hold it
yet he endures his times
with resilience, with humility
and then dies with fortitude
when death summons,
O' it is far greater legacy left behind
far greater than wealth.
