I Hope My Words Abide Each day of our journey- Takes us closer to the end... Each turning of the trail, we face- New foes, or maybe friends. Each challenge met, and won or lost- Defeat, or victory... Does place another chisel stroke- On that sculpture known as Me! Now I’ve been writing poetry- Since nineteen ninety-eight. I’ll never sell, that’s just as well. I scribble on life’s slate. To leave my mark, a memory- For those who come behind... Graffiti down the halls of life... A glimpse into my mind. Unimportant? Likely so- Another nameless bard. Whom Death pursues relentlessly- And now He’s pressing hard. Yet still I’d like someone to know- He lived, he loved, he died. So tirelessly I scribble on... And hope my words abide. |

I hope my words abide too. I guess that's why we write. Ida |

...Yet still I’d like someone to know- He lived, he loved, he died... Me too. Thanks, Melton |

"To show the world I was" ends one of my poems. You say the same thing and very well, 'slinger. |
