400th Anniversary
When they lay the ashes of what’s left of me
In a sealed crypt for all time
My words will live in someone’s heart
Perhaps with age they’ll season fine
A legacy of what was in my heart
Limited images of all I did and saw
Touched by the ones who knew me
Who even knew my sin and flaw
As a piper plays amazing grace
Loved ones wipe your tears away
I lived life well and lived life free
Said often in words what I had to say
Four hundred poems I count them all
As lessons shared to those who’ve read
My work like art images my soul
My children’s children hear what I have said.
I know I'm rather late, so by now, you must have twice as many of these beauties! What a great feat - and a treasure for your grands!
I heartily agree with that legacy!
God bless you with thousands more!

blooming sweetly alongside the
Road to Immortality...
Congrats and may you create many more
of these gems.

Your great grand kids and their children can say "That's my gramp's poem". Doesn't that make you feel proud? It should.
BTW...you look fine, amused and confident. Good signs for a writer...poet!
You have my vote.
