Notes About The Poem

Premiere V- Open 12/22/24

Never Renewed

The footprints of my life will turn to dust
and all of my dreams will be forgotten
when I am buried beneath the Earth's crust
those I'll leave behind will be disheartened
the tears shed will silently fade away
as the days they live are more reverent
I'll be a memory of yesterday
and one who is no longer relevant
my time will end and eternally pass
while the impressions I'll leave disappear
to be argued by them through an hourglass
as their mortality will interfere
my life is always lived and not argued
for the time I'll live is never renewed

So very true, a lot of wisdom in your sonnet, which flow and rhymes so well...
