Will I Be Remembered

I only hope that someday the words,
I bleed into each poem and rhyme.
Will bequeath such a legacy that,
it’s able to bridge the gap of time.

Perhaps the future might honor me,
through these simple words I leave behind.
Or will these poems rust and splinter,
into scraps penned from a withered mind.

Oh, the horror of lines 7 and 8. ... Food for thought there...

I do believe, with your talent, you have nothing to worry about my friend.
