My Words My Legacy

My Words My Legacy.
.
Within the short time I have left
It is my earnest desire
To leave a legacy to the world
Spread my love to all
And inspire
.
In my words
I give my heart mind soul and blood
I’d change the world for the better
If I could
But I know it’s futile
However
If I can touch peoples hearts and make them laugh
And smile
I will be happy
It will have all been worthwhile
.
I gave my very best
And gave my all
To help the downtrodden
And those made small
.
Soon a tombstone
With a name, no one knows
Will weather
And be overgrown
Lived a lonely life
All alone
.
My m merge words
In my books
Last for eternity
I was here for a short while
But whatever you do
Never forget me.
