Ripples in the water

What will be left behind?One day this body will decay and the world will have one less inhabitant.But what will I  leave behind?Life long achievments?A prestigious career?A widowed wife? Were all but pawns, in a game of kings and queens. Just another ripple in the water. Another cloud in the big blue sky.
   So how far up may I go, in ,my infinite journey to achieve perfection. Im not a poet, a profet or a professor. I am but just a boy, finding his own path. No matter what the outcome, I shall never hold regrets. The wind shall blow, the leaves shall fall and I will be gone, living on only in your memories.
