I pen my will before I go She's opened up the dragons door For reasons that I do not know. And now I must confront the awe Of all the demons that I owe. My horse is old as I, I'm sure It's been a while since we have rode. My lance has rust on it's allure And I must leave my poor abode. I'm grateful for the little peace The little lease the show of sun I almost had the golden fleece I thought the final battle won. But I was wrong to bury why The virus has flared up again And I am sick upon this lie And write again my will with pen. To all that witness of my store. I will you love forever more. |

Seymour~ 'To all that witness of my store. I will you love forever more.' New horse in prance with well-oiled lance He rode the charge of quill All that read him bow in knowing He is the king of poet's hill You are wonderful ! Forever loved ~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

In this world we stand, but not forever On these beds we lay and dream not forever With these words we pen, we live forever Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

your horse, forever white... your lance, forever shine... your words, always to be read... when you write for these eyes of mine... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Wow, Sy This is so powerful... yet so sad in it's own right. One with such words will never be lost - and never forgotten by those he's touched. Know that. Peace to you, my friend. Michael |

To pen one's will before depart is best if one should wait, to pen becomes a test. ...and then ya'd just be a ghostwriter! Still learning and loving your work, Mr. T. Rainy |
