My Last Thoughts Poem by Randy McClave

As I am laid 6 feet underground
If you now listen, no more will I utter a sound,
No more poems will I ever again speak
And no more awards will I ever want or seek.
I once sought gold, but I gave it all away
Unto God in forgiveness I did always pray,
I had once sought love, but it didn't seek me
Now, it is lost in my eternity.
As I now think back unto my youth
Where I once sought immortality, and always the truth,
Now a caring man they now lay down to sleep
And no tears for him will anyone ever weep.
Many souls I did desperately tried to warm
Whenever there came a coldness from a storm,
But, then as I slowly got unneeded and old
The ones who I had loved, left me out in the cold.
No more poems will I ever write
And no more poems with a smile will I ever again recite,
Here in life I truly did my best
But, now they have laid me down to my eternal rest.
