The Few

will be remembered

 

 

Think carefully again
what life holds to be true
wherever you have been
there were only a few

 

The distance they have felt
was so painfully clear
wondering why being dealt
the chance to be here

 

It wasn't some grand plan
formed in a glorious place
giving to us our life
that we could debase

 

We will have lived our time
as have the other life forms
from those so high and mighty
to including the worms

 

A valid existence for us
will involve serious concern
if any of our number
wish to do more than yearn

 

You could be one of those
who have felt this need
giving more to others
than just spreading your seed

 

It is entirely up to you
to attain any success
what you are able to achieve
requires more than a guess

 

The measure of your life
is not about what others do
it is whether or not

you become one of the few
