Remembrance
By: Sydney Jones
I want to be remembered
My life not drowned by time
Swimming through an endless sea
Of memories that haste to climb
I take matters into my own hands
Because no one will care at all
Unless you spray your handprint well
On an unknown cracked stone wall
I want to be remembered
My life can’t be forgotten
Hidden away deep inside
The fertile ground I rot in
Too many memories that matter
Too many things that I have planned
All in all represented by
A homemade painted hand
I want to be remembered
As someone noble and brave
So i’ll etch my handprint carefully
Inside this dim lit cave
There will be a time they’ll find me
In this somber place I dwell
And maybe this wall will signify
That I lived life, and I lived it well
