I was really saddened to hear about the passing away of Mr Stephen R. Covey yesterday, this gentleman and his wonderful words of wisdom will live in my heart forever. He is the author of one of my most favourite books, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and I have often used the knowledge and teachings from this book in my work and every day life. If you haven’t read this book, I would totally recommend it to you. In my opinion Mr Covey was indeed an inspirational human being and his legacy lives on. This next poem is dedicated to him, thank you for being such a positive influence in my life.
Your Legacy Lives On
Dear Mr Covey, your words are very wise
Your book, The 7 Habits, helped me to see through different eyes
Your teachings are so inspiring, and made a lot of sense to me
You enhanced my ‘circle of influence’, a new perception I now see
To ‘start with the end in mind’, is so very true
You gave me visions of hope, and now this is what I do
Your legacy lives on, guiding my soul
Without your wonderful knowledge, I would never feel so whole
Thank you Stephen R. Covey, I’ll remember to ‘sharpen my saw’
Each principle that you lived by, is now my living law
