“Do You have The Time...”

Sheridan Hauf

In death, I wish not to be forgotten,

to grasp fame before hell obtains my heart.

It’s sad that I’m not good enough at art

Not Talented enough for a college.

 I Wish this was a song, not a sonnet,

but with music I don’t know where to start.

No one will hear my words, at least I’m smart

My memories will sit here and rot then.

Was I cheated or was I just lazy

I’ve been sheltered and I've never been denied

Will I be heard or unheard off, maybe

I’ve tossed it around too much in my mind

But should I let the negative phase me?

Cause I’m not dead yet, Do you have the time?

      ANGELA HERE ~ Good Morning Sheridan - Welcome to MPS ! Thanks for Your first Poem which strikes a chord with all of us irrespective of AGE ! We all live an alloted time X XX XXX XL L up C+ Years (Im 32) and leave a LEGACY - not just a Financial One but a Character One ! How will People remember us ? We should choose the Person who does our EULOGY carefully - so at least we can be praised as the *Worlds best Penny Whistle Player* on that DAY !
      Its easy for World Famous Artists - Actors - Musicians & Scientists etc ~ Their Eulogies write themselves ! What have we ever achieved ? Im a GOOD Physiotherapist - A GOOD Person & (if I live long enough I only got married in March 2020 with FOUR GUESTS !) a GOOD Wife - Mother - Granny etc who always did Her BEST - AMEN ! Perhaps that will be enough ? Thanks for sharing !

      Peace & Joy & Love
      Angela & Brian 💛💛💛
