If I should ever die alone
Having lived my life on my own
Then this is all I'd like to say

That right upto that very day
I wish to live and love and feel
To live a life of pain - if real
For people live and people die
For each other - by and by

I wish to be a golden key
To open doors, to help other see

I wish to walk with them on their way
Wherever it leads - who can say?
But God alone can be our guide
Though it was only for us that Jesus died
I wish to work for the Lord alone
By working for others with not a groan
And to see the beauties from heavens high
To hear God's voice in every sigh
To share my love and hope for nought
To be glad of what the day has brought
To sing my happiness in a voice so strong
To be there for others when something's wrong

But most of all I wish for me
To have the ability to see
That it might be my very love
To receive those words from high above
To please another with what I write
To lift him up to my only height

And if I should ever die alone
Having lived my life on my own
With no loving man to love me so
I pray to God that I may not grow
To being lonely or grumpy and grey
For though I care not for what the people say
I would miss the joy I could give along
In a poem, a smile, a touching song

So thank you, poetry, for showing the way
Is the only thing I'd like to say
If ever I should die alone
Having lived my life on my own

Ich bin fasziniert. Ich schreibe ja auch Gedichte, aber diese Nachhaltigkeit der Zeilen und die Wirkung der Worte auf mich sind erstaunlich. Ich habe nie eins geschrieben, dass mich so interessiert hätte. Noch Jahre später. Ich bin einfach nur "baff"!
Also diese poetische Leistung ist wirklich bemerkenswert. Jeder kann sowas abschreiben, aber ich finde es wirklich schön. ;-)

dead lies..
(falls du mal eins meiner Gedichte lesen möchtest: Delirium, Enzephalopathie & andere Psychosen.

Ich würde mich über einen Verbesserungsvorschlag sehr freuen, obwohl ich in meine Gedichte nie sonderlich viel Zeit investiere =)
