Your name is all they will remember you by.

The only thing I've ever owned
completely owned
no strings attached and no debt to pay
I held on to it with total control
The path I paved
through countless days
sleepless nights, restless hours
and weary minutes was for the glory
a story worth words unspoken and unscathed
In the name of liberation
they will carve my name in a stone made for me
yet I am not in a grave
My spirit flies!!
remembrance floats so high
that it trickles down
to so many who won't ask why
They simply accept the presence
of a soul manifested
in the form of a lesson
or a blessing
Heavenly I will sit
promoting the gifts
of the future
as I did in my
present day life maneuvers
When they carve my name in stone
let it be known
incase they thought wrong
while I was in the physical form
