The Benefactor
He stands above the town he helped shape,
stone carved in his likeness,
but memory carved in the lives of others.
The land he gave, the buildings he funded,
the gestures that outlived his own footsteps,
still echo through the park where his figure rises.
We walk beneath his gaze,
rarely looking up,
rarely remembering that generosity too
can become a kind of monument.
We all leave marks behind.
Some are fleeting,
some are forgotten,
and a few, like his,
become the ground others walk upon.
