From Where it is

It's not the name that will tell you
From where it is I came...
For with life passages, life choices
So changes the name.

It won't be told in the amount of,
or in the lack of... prosperity in my life.
For Where it is... isn't valued,
by riches or by might.

If life is lived and deeds done well,
then perhaps in my posterity it shall reflect.
For that is from where it is,
That I learned life to its best.

The greatest giver, never understood.
The value of her giving would be so good.
From where it is that I come from,
The heritage, the strength, the will to be strong.
The legacy that so silently lives on.
Generations will keep pieces of her,
For without a giver... I couldn't give more.
