This was a class assignment.
the first & last 2 lines were from an old famous poem or something like that. we had to fill in the middle of how we wanted people to remember us. the teacher used mine as an example for all her classes :]
i felt good.recognized for something i love to do. write.
through this toilsome world alas!
once & only once i pass.
a book of life & poem of love.
these words that come to me down from above.
i only get one chance you see.
so this is the way people will remember me.
no delay for it is plain.
i shall never pass this way again.
