The Pen tells the story of love, sorrow and tears woven within a life. Such a legacy - if remembered by those who read the words written by the writer carrying the pen...
To write a story from the heart,
about a love to never part,
The pen my sword;
The pen my knife;
To tell the story of my life.
I give to all in word and rhyme,
The endless tale which knew no time.
The pen my touch;
The pen my sight;
Will tell of laughter and of plight.
The one that no one ever knew,
But made a legend out of you.
The pen my torch;
The pen my light;
Will be my friend thoughout the night.
For when you leave this world of mine,
Another hand will tell the time.
The pen my voice;
The pen my song;
Will never judge the right or wrong.
