What do you want to be remembered for?
Remembered

Soulful music that wrenches the heart like Elvis,
making us sway to the rhythm and dance the beat
could make you a memory that lives forever.
What do you want to be remembered for?

Think of the days of old at the State Fair,
where elephant ears and corndogs were sold,
fatty foods that soothed our souls and bellies.
What do you want to be remembered for?

Then came Operation Iraqi Freedom,
riding tanks to free people held in oppression,
giving them rights far beyond their reach.
What do you want to be remembered for?

Give me words to say to create a story,
reaching others with nothing more than my pen,
My works preserved in the pages of books for years to come.
What do you want to be remembered for?
