The Desired Epitaph
By L. Dale Icenogle
To be remembered as some one who never said no
To a friend or a stranger when the winds of needs blow,
Who would reach for a child that extended a hand,
Who would listen to sorrow and then understand,
Who never questions or judge another mans load.
Without thought of payment of what he was owed
To carry a brother's burden they no longer could no longer bare,
With never a question as to what was their share,
With respect for the old with eyes growing dim
With love in their heart, who in faith turned to him?
When remembered as such what more could one ask?
But strength in his heart to shoulder the task.
And as for pay, if respect, nothing more
Is all the harvest you've been sowing for
Some where there's a sunset where someday you'll stand
And there you'll gaze over to a much better land
You'll need not look back or need even to care
To a place better off because you'd there

Date: 7/13/2001 4:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 33744    (this is not adnama, its her freind using her computer.)
i think this poem was good, with a nice rhyme structure.
i also think, though, that it was too impersonal,
and not very expressive of your own thoughts and views.
i think that maybe you should experiment with some non-rhyming,
more personal poems. but you are a very good poet and should keep writing
  
Date: 7/16/2001 10:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 40083    Very,very good poem. I loved it. Keep writting them.
