Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. I don’t seek fame, I don’t seek praise,No need for fireworks, or grand displays.But if you whisper, “She lent a hand,”That’s a medal better than anything planned.No need for statues, no songs in my name,Just a simple nod in life’s little game.“I was stuck, and...
