Besides Family

During the years that I had lived many friends I have had; some nice, some good, some bad... ah! being friendless is very sad! Beside family...who else will remember what I've achieved, perhaps a stranger reading my works too lucid and intense? I have honored many unnotorious folks like humble mother, and the ones who have touched me in ways nobody has... having been an innovator, not much of a shaker, readers will uncover the true meaning of my writings. Besides family...who will take time to read them twice? Have I moved, inspired and changed them in several minutes? That could be so true by the interest they have shown in the poems I've written and my wish is that they have found that voice! I seek no praises or laurels for my creations with words so intuitive, and if an ode were dedicated to me....so very honored I wouldl be! It's not being naive...not to have realized it and be crowned with victory; and in any respectable way they wish to remember me, it's their prerogative.
