A Wake Poem by christopher flynn

A Wake

Rating: 5.0


The future brings
From which you make
From the smallest moves
to the biggest days

One small event
triggers a landslide of change
your life's story
Are the decisions you make

Nothing good is easy
So take the right path
You build each day
with the love that you have

A story is building
To be told at your wake
How will you be remembered?
What will they say?

I love poems like that that really expresses the truth but also leaves you with new ideas and gives you some really good advice. You've written it in a very snappy witty way with a lovely flow from verse to verse. :)
