A Man Would Hope

The best a man can hope for is a life without remorse
A life without regret for leaving marriage in divorce
To leave this world a better place, responding to the call
To leave his mark and legacy, by some writing for us all

The best a man could hope for is a love to stand beside
A love with oration, without which life would be denied
A love whose only reflection, combine as shadows cast
One upon the other, deep inside the looking glass

The best a man could hope for when his life is nearing end
Is the peace of having no desire to pass this way again
To wipe the blackboard clean walk away without the debt
Leave demons in his pockets, and this world without regret….
