Do not weep, do not sigh For I have been granted All my wishes On the day you were born I once said That to catch a rainbow You must grasp All the colours Of life The fish never swam upstream Without a tale to tell The tiger did not roar For meaningless purpose I as one person still left life’s imprints On the track that Had been worn down by So many that had passed This way before And so I left, my purpose fulfilled Allowing you to greet the new dawn So smile at your grief’s shedding For I wore your hearts on my sleeve
Never a let down to read something from yo9u only curiousity for the next one you think.Very nice
