Epitaph

Here lies a friend of the friendless,
Here lies a lover of dreams,
Here lies a man who was faithful
To God, and all that He brings.

Here lies a man who was careworn,
Here lies a heart that was sad,
Here lies a poet whose pleasure
Was in making another’s heart glad.

(Just to clarify – this is not my epitaph.)
