the day i die
and am laid to rest
i want it knowm
i gave life my best

i lived with words
died writing my verse
i loved this life
for better or worse

my last request
i ask if i may
on my tombstone
i want it to say:

here's faithmairee
who finally rests
no more poeing
for this poetess

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Ah, well, yes...there's that...

then there's going to be all of the
sheaves of poetry we're going to take
to line the casket, if and when that time
comes...

methinks you're going to be asking us to
shred it, just to make room.

This is good!

I like this, it is much more dignified than the Epithaph I wrote.

ahhh..but, have you never heard of celestial verse and heavenly rhyme and the shortage of poets & poetesses to pen the same (extremely well written)...the really good ones like yourself will both write and be read for eternity
