Words I'Ve Fed

Have I made a difference? Have I swayed a mind? Have I showed desire? In truth have I been kind? When life goes on without me Will my name still be said? Or will I just die unnoticed With meaningful words I've fed?

Poetic words are the truest expression of pure thought: immutable and ageless like the great void. Lots of warmth and much affection this cold night, Brenda. :) john

Your words in a way are sad but they are words that I truly can relate to. Believe me Brenda, you will be remembered for all of the good thing you have done in your life.

Your words will live on, no doubt, my poetic friend... Of course, we also live on in the memories (and through the deeds and charitable giving) of our loved ones...Here's to life in the here and now too, as well as Eternal Life. :-) gw
