Epitaph

When I am dead and gone, You’ll find among my belongings: An incomplete poem, An open book and Remnants of a broken dream! I lived my life complete And what did I earn? A flower-laden casket, A tombstone and A few sighs of relief! My loved ones did what best they could— Wished me eternal peace Shed few regretful tears Then turned and walked away! That’s my legacy-- A few fond memories A few heartbreaks Some random good deeds And the solemn sunset; From the dust I rose Into the dust I return, Like a wind I came Like a whisper I go! 08/28/2015 Silent One "Your Final Poem" contest
