I'm A Simple Man

Writing words of wit & rhyme 
I do mostly out of longing ,
Wanting someone special 
Remembering a better time .

From the day of our birth 
We are destined to die,
Do something amazing 
Leave this world wondering why.

Greatest way there 
To that last lingering mile ,
Whenever you meet someone 
Offer them your hand & biggest smile .

True pleasures await us all
Our own pot of gold ,
At the end of our journey 
Fond memories will be told .
