I used to be a writer; a little poetry by hand. A poet without the glitter; no audiance did i command. My messages were solely mine; a cummulation of my thoughts. Here and there little lines, and whatever comfort it brought. I was not the shakespear; i am who i am. These my writings, i shared, hoping if "one" would understand. Then my time was past; i wrote poems no more. Not even good poets last, muchless me, this simple bore. Yet you can make me great, reading my work through and through. Do so for this poet's sake; one who is infamous as you. Become a well known critic-: debate my work and its value. With comments from good to derelict; such helps my work shine-through. I am not the immortal; my body dead and gone. Make my work-:a living portal and byfaith a legend lives:- on!

About this poem:
This is life for us. one day you will see me no more!
I like the way you thinkI too have always hurt to think about how much time and effort goes into becomming who we are, then to one day be gone..and we hope not forgotten it's really sad when you think about it.
I hope you do live on in the hearts and minds of all who kn ow and care for you.. God bless..and keep writing...JG..
Hi, byfaith, Though people close to me view my writings mediocre, I still write to sort and deal with things in life and, when I dare to do so, I share. Hopefully, that is enough. Time will tell if any messages written transcend the time in which they are written and speak to the ages. May the poet byfaith's words be among them!

An inspirational write bro.,one word of encouragement,''It's not what you've got,its what you make of what you've got. It's about sharing the best of you to the world,despite we may not touch much,reat assured that you have moved at least one,when you look back on your life,you smile and say..I've did all that i could have done,a piece of has been left on the tablet of this world. I enjoyed reading this,its very heartfelt,genuine and an inspirational write. Cheers to that
We don't have to be great to be heard and understood. Shearing is what's important. Your words are full of eternal wisdom - no criticism on my part, only encouragement to write more and share your wisdom with us. Good luck to you, dear poet!
