My Last Thoughts

As I am laid 6 feet underground If you now listen, no more will I utter a sound, No more poems will I ever again speak And no more awards will I ever want or seek. I once sought gold, but I gave it all away Unto God in forgiveness I did always pray, I had once sought love, but it didn't seek me Now, it is lost in my eternity. As I now think back unto my youth Where I once sought immortality, and always the truth, Now a caring man they now lay down to sleep And no tears for him will anyone ever weep. Many souls I did desperately tried to warm Whenever there came a coldness from a storm, But, then as I slowly got unneeded and old The ones who I had loved, left me out in the cold. No more poems will I ever write And no more poems with a smile will I ever again recite, Here in life I truly did my best But, now they have laid me down to my eternal rest. Randy L. McClave
