Fearfull

I always thought what would be my legacy when I die. Then I realize - so what! I’m not afraid of the dark, Spiders, snakes, or a mean dog’s bark. I’ve lived with physical pain, all my life, And had to endure, much emotional strife, I’m not afraid of being hated nor being loved, As I’ve had my share, of all the above. I’m not afraid of death, Cause I’ve lived a full life for so long. But I am afraid that when I die, No one will remember my life's song.
