Traces Of Me.....[short; Personal; Humor; Death]

Rating: 4.0


If when I pass I leave few traces,
let me leave at least some smiling faces,
on a chosen few.

I may have been at times a pain in ass
(and I don't mean when I was passing gas)
to a chosen few.

Retired, I wrote poems for myself and to share
(though it seemed most I shared with did not care)
with a chosen few.

I never with my money was wild.
I shared with wives, non-profits, and my child.
That's what I would do.

I've tried to live like a good Boy Scout.
But I gave up religion, and I sometimes shout.
What's a guy to do?

I've tried to live like a good Boy Scout.......... That's how we all should try to live our lives. To air on the side of caution as K.C.N suggests is being non commital. If you're not sure which horse to back you hedge your bets. If we live our lives to the best of our abilities ie. more thought for the less fortunate, our environment etc. who would complain?

Give up on religion but not on God Or for that matter even on the Devil Let us err on the side of caution And meeting them both be very civil Yes, this poem did make me smile. In a world of too many religions, the Devil is having a big bash.....
