Literature Text

Life so willingly given, I am thankful
And so I ask to be written something beautiful
Such as “A world has been brought to light,
One that glows with inspiration and flight,
And I thank thee-- with all my heart,
Thy ever open wings have set me apart
Yet given me a chance to be special and bright.”
Again, inspired by Thomas Hardy, this time on his poem, "Epitaph" which about what he would've liked to be written on his tombstone. This is my own version (and though it's kind of depressing) and it's one of my favorites so far! I thought I really did well with this one, thought it was hard to find the right rhymes!
