[hometext] => I've given up on this desire or idea of being famous or leaving behind a legacy. when my time comes, I wish to leave this world in full. It's ok if the world doesn't remember you.For I don't think a persons soul wants to remember the world after they die.
[bodytext] => And as we all sink beneath the ground What did we seek to live here for? And all the years I chased your pretty face Time has made us ugly And nobody will remember me For I wasn’t in the history books We weren’t wealthy, or famous We invented nothing mankind desired And yet I loved as much as anyone I’ve cried as much as anyone I’ve gained the entire world Simply to lose it in the end And what do I amount to? Dirt, which is all that will remain of me I am but a fleeting breath The death of a majority My name will die with me As nature etches it from my tombstone As we cling to the hope of something more Let go, and let time erase an earth filled with footprints Draw me away from the physical And if my spirit’s finally free Guide me onward For heaven is all I want to remember [comments] => 3 [counter] => 467 [topic] => 21 [informant] => scottstone [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
