Famous Last Words

What shall be my words in death?
Will they ring and steal your breath?
Forever trapped within your mind,
Full of wisdom left behind.

Echoing through both time and age,
Could I be a timeless sage?
If only to the ones I know,
The ones I touched so long ago.

Souls who know how much I care,
Who've been there through the wear and tear,
Shall I be their tainted muse,
Deeply set within their views.

The inspiration that they need,
When the world grows cold with greed,
Will my words caress dear glory,
Living on to tell my story.

Could be famous, changing lives,
We'll only know when death arrives,
To think now of what I'd say,
Would only take its worth away.
