Long After I'm Gone - My Words Will Live On

I leave part of me
In all that I say
thru the prose that I write
and the scenes I portray

My words paint a picture
like the clouds in the sky
changing their shape
as the slowly drift by

I write from my heart
filled with emotion
the world can't contain
the tears of my ocean

Writing has helped me
to finally say
the things that I couldn't
in no other way

So when I am gone
I'll still be around
You can feel me and see me
as my words still resound

In my prose and my poetry
short stories I write
curl up with me
on a cold winters night

Let my words give you comfort
let them hold you so near
let my stories entrance you
thru the days of the year

When you're sad and you miss me
I'm not far away
you can hear my soft whispers
in the words that I say

I'll be in each verse
Long after I'm gone  -
my thoughts have been written
my words will live on -
