Just Remember Who You Are by Peter Paton Wednesday, February 01, 2006 Rated "PG" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

" There's No Fool, Like An Old Fool ". .................................................................. Never forget where you sprang from Always remember just who you are Its so easy to lose track of your identity Amidst the hurly burly of life Your name is essentially important It designates you as a unique individual And you carry it wherever you go So when your pilgrimage is over It will be the only reminder of you So take great care of your reputation As history will document your worth And all your deeds and actions Will be there for all to see So make sure your lasting legacy Is one of an enduring and refined kind Spread the milk of human kindness Thickly and evenly on either side And people will always recall you From the very bottom of their heart Give of yourself freely and easily And be prepared to go that extra mile It will be to your credit in the end For you will have become Another link in the saint's chain That stretches from here to eternity Copyright by Peter Paton 2006

very nice, My boyfriend and I were just talking about this the other day. That a person that follows the beat of their own drum is remembered and gains immortality.




Reviewed by L. Figgins	2/1/2006

Oh so true! This reminds me of my father, whose legacy I have tried to live up to, for he was a saint in my eyes. Oh he had his faults but was a man of integrity. I concur with Michelle. A very fine write, Peter. Thank you...




Reviewed by Jane Rodway	2/1/2006

I loved this, the meaning is so great- i loved the part about the saints, it is true that people do not realize that they are saints in their everyday lives. Great poem.




Reviewed by George Carroll	2/1/2006

Love, compassion and caring given on earth gains eternal slavation.

"Your name is essentially important It designates you as a unique individual" Peter, this resonates with my Legend of the Quail posted in my den about the power of what's in a name. I love this write. It gives one a sense of identity. I will be trimming back my reviews, as business related commitments are many right now for me. I have also been sent two professional works from professional authors here on Authors Den to read and give professional reviews to, one author's work, a finished novel, the other a manuscript ready for publishing. It is all very time-consuming and I am right now reviewing the galleys of my next novel out hopefully sometime this month, which takes 16-hour days. So I will be back to reviewing Authors Den poets in a month or so. Please know that I will still be reading you. Please read my interview with editor Sara Russell from Poetry Life & Times which goes live at around 6 p.m. tonight. Thanks always for the daily inspiration Peter. Love and Peace. Sage
