I want to be remembered
like the legendary sportsman,
who always championed,
in adversity’s awestruck face.
I want to be remembered
like the inspiring poet,
whose words were a stream,
that gently washed over you.
I want to be remembered
like the eccentric musician,
who changed the world,
with his insightful lyrics.
I want to be remembered
and never forgotten,
in a world where many,
are only seen as a number!
of course you will be remembered long after you have gone, Michael. Written words have great power...
