Louis Spence Poet Didactic

YOUR BIOGRAPHY

Nothing that you say 
Is ever lost; it's filed away 
Goes down in history 
In someone's memory 
And everything you do 
Is traceable to you 
Be as kind as you can be 
Living your biography. 

  Every contact leaves a trace 
  Every line in your face 
  All the stigma of disgrace 
  All the splendour of good grace. 

Your secrets stashed away
Light up with D.N.A. 
The practiced jewelled smile 
Belies an inner guile 
A wayward sinful thought 
Enacted, sees you caught 
Be as true as you can be 
Living your biography.
