Analysis of After Legacy



Fading memories,
New paths rise from ancient roots,
Future's tapestry.   

Legacy behind,
Carve a path unlived and new,
After, we transform.    

Legacy lives on
In the hearts of future kin,
Eternal impact .

Legacy lives on,
Memories etched in our hearts,
Forever cherished.
