Sonnets

Long after death

I know the world will spin on without me
it never stops for anyone, not even thee.
Yet what I fear most is being forgotten,
an existence erased, thy legacy rotten.

I've left my mark, but shall it endure?
Will it fade away, of this I'm not sure.
For I have loved, lost, laughed, and cried,
but will thy memory, in others reside?

I leave behind a world that won't miss me,
But it's this writers hope someone will see
the good I've done and the love I've shared
and that efforts were made because I cared.

And though my time here was but a breath,
thy will hopefully be recalledlong after death.
