To Whom It Might Concern
To Whom It May Concern
If I should suddenly take my last breath
Leave my mortal coil behind
And succumb to the dark of death
Think this of me
I may have been a simple humble man
For a brief moment in space and time
Who tried to succeed in thought and deed
Followed dreams that lead to nothing
Lived and loved as I believed
Many a time misunderstood
Judged by a few ignorant others sometimes as bad
When I tried my best to be good
A heart full of love
Kindness and empathy for others
Was always at heart in my thoughts and in my blood
Far from perfect
I faced a new mighty mountain each day
Often alone
A life wasted lived in limbo
No place for my heart to call a home
A lost soul at the mercy of cruel cursing wind
Took me to places I’d rather not dwell
Within the realms and dark pits of hell
A sunny warm smile
Upon my tired weary mask
Hid the pain
I was strong too strong
Just pushed myself too far
I tried to get on
With everyone
Only human in denile
But as a butterflies wings sometimes fragile
My heart had many open festered wounds
And although I forgave
But still haunt and difficult to forget
My wounds never healed
And only God
Knew how I’d feel
Controversial outspoken
I stood up for myself
And also others
The down trodden
The unfairly treated and the weak
Giving others a voice
When they couldn’t speak
I’d often swim against the tide
Wore my heart on my sleeve
I had little to hide
Always true to myself
The treasures I sought
Money could not buy
I always seeked the truth
In a world of misconception
And lies
I leave a legacy behind
In word Written from the heart
My moments shared of kind
Of my deepest thoughts
Aspirations a dreams
The journey I’ve travelled
And the things I’ve seen
I tried in my own way
To save the world
Change hearts and minds
Influence make people think
Open the eyes of those who are blind
And spread my love and good will
To all mankind
People may judge me on my looks
But will only know the real me
By having known me
By my kindness caring nature
And the heartfelt words in my books.
