I hoped the world would end
They would stop and drop to knee
That they would speak in hushed tones
Of all memory of that which was me

I hoped they would cry in anguish
That they would speak a eulogy in heart
That i was more than I thought id been
That I had been just almost someone

But life went on
Noone caught a breath
no tears fell
A small whisper in the wind
A few lines in stone
And the world skated by
and I was
as I always knew I would be
Forgotten

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

Sometimes we feel neglected or even forgotten.We have no way of telling how others really feel. How nice it would be if only a few could find the words to let us know they care.

Go out today if you can and just smile at others and maybe toss in a few "good day to you

forgotten is such a lonely word..I'm sure there are lots out there for whom you made a difference to their lives and won't ever forget you, the friends you have here in pip whom you touched by your poems..

...A small whisper in the wind...

Excellently penned. Life goes on. It is a fast paced world and I accept that. The verse above which you wrote says it all to the few that vaguely remember- then you're gone.

Thanks for the read,
Melton
