ONE DAY I WILL BE NO MORE

ONE DAY I WILL BE NO MORE



One day I will be no more but
My essence will be there.
My body will decay but my
Thoughts would be everywhere.

My thoughts and feelings are those that
Touch a chord in all hearts.
It’s with a thought, a deep feeling,
From which a poem starts.

Maybe my poems outlast me.
Even if they do not,
They would of course be reflected
In all emotions soft.

When He calls me unto Him and
Asks me what did I do.
I’d tell Him I brought out tears that
Inside the hearts did brew.

Having brought out those tears I did
Help those hearts be tranquil,
Because we must drain out the tears
Before joy do we fill.
