Some writers hope
To make a living
From their writing.
I seek immortality.
My writing
Will likely be forgotten
In a garden lily’s
lifetime.
My hope is
Publishing my poetry will
Inspire my daughters to
dream,
Conceive their own books,
Books better written than
mine
Remembered for successive
seasons
Inspiring their children
To write wonderful books,
Maybe one
Will become a classic,
A book never forgotten.
Inside that book a
dedication
To my grandfather
Who wrote poetry
And I
Will have gained
My writer’s immortality.
