Posterity

I want a glimmering of hope
I pray for something good to shine
I wish that nothing we have made
Will, in vain, be left behind
I slowly watch my trophies fall
See how my efforts are subdued
And in this sharp epiphany
My weary voice cries out to you
I want to trust you with now on
I want to offer this and more
But once I thought I knew the way
You'll understand if I'm unsure
