Life Is Not Permanent Life: it is not permanent You knew that from the start And so you took each breath, each sigh That captured your own heart Then penned it for here for us to read Long after you were gone Your very own remembrance left So you might carry on Life: it is not permanent Though you will always live For in this greedy world of ours You took the time to give A fragment of your very life A glimpse into your soul Composed in words of poetry Your loving hands inscrolled Life: it is not permanent Though not for death I yearn I still can’t help but smile to think That when it is my turn You’ll welcome me in open arms With Shelly, Byron, Yeats And all those poets gone before Inside of heaven’s gates I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |
