L Milton Hankins Poet Epitaph

Here Lies a Man

Here lies a man who did his best
To live life as fully as he possibly could
There came the time, he confessed,
As any honorable man certainly would
Admitting all the wild seeds he had sown
Times he betrayed an important trust
And now that he sees he is dying soon
Will clear his guilty conscience, he must.

Gershon Wolf June 21, 2021 at 7:20 PM Yes, the time has come for this man to bare his soul! ~ To Life! (at least the Eternal sort). :) gw L Milton Hankins June 21, 2021 at 7:22 PM So true, Gershon. And, I think every man needs some conscience-clearing time before he goes.
