In older writes today I take a peek
I read what brings me joy and what brings pain
A message left: a gift that I still seek
I see a face, and tears fall fast like rain
The writes and rhymes have chronicled my life
Like dearest friends the words bring solace deep
What grieves my heart is some remembered strife
I read again. I smile, I sigh, I weep.
Some of the poets now have passed away
And others now are silent, no reply
I wonder once again what might I say
to make those days return. I have to try
I cherish every sign in every rhyme
Of where I was, and where I've come to be
The journey that I take, is quite sublime
I'll write until I taste eternity.
