Notes About The Poem

My Fear

I have so much to say
so much to show
so much of me
I want to leave behind

     I don't fear death
     what I fear most
     is losing the battle
     against time

                           I have so much to say
                           so much to show
                           so much of me
                           I want to leave behind

                                           I don't fear death
                                           what I fear most
                                           is losing the battle
                                           against time

Judy Ball June 10, 2021 at 3:19 PM WoW! What a poignant piece this is. So many of us when we reach a certain point in life start thinking about our own mortality. I think the main thing we wonder is who is going to remember us and HOW will we be remembered. Will we be remembered for our mistakes or for the love we had for friends and relatives. Great job here. God Bless, JB Line Gauthier June 11, 2021 at 3:42 AM Absolutely. Thank you so much, Judy.

David Kavanagh June 7, 2021 at 12:00 PM Fantastic formatting Line, the Bold print of life fading away into fine print, adds particular meaningfulness, to this searching poem of inevitable demise, as a race against time, but hey you’ve only just retired, so hopefully time is on your side, cheers David Line Gauthier June 7, 2021 at 4:29 PM Thanks, David ~ I'll just keep plugging away at it ~
