To Be Read

*Aug.26, 2003.

I'm on a mission--
a life's decision--
to write a message
that will be read--
across the bridge--
before I'm dead.


In other words,
I want to write
something good enough
to be read aloud
fifty years from now.

Thank You,

Very well penned. I think we all would like to make a difference and since I believe words have power, they will live on.
Blessings,
