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.
