Who will read my story?
Who will hear my symphony?
Will my life, my work in kind,
Endure obscurity?
As you look into my soul
May I touch your heart
An inner truth have I sought
To leave you as we part
So, remember fond,
my humble words
My essence as you go
My name may pass
My soul will last
If joy my thoughts will sow
