Inheritance

I often say the real measure of a life well lived... is how many hearts you have touched. I have said this to her many times even on the day before she died... her legacy is indelible!

The thing is

nothing

matters more

then the smiles

of heretofore

from the hearts

of true adore.  

The treasure

of your implore

beyond measure

will endure

your precious heart

will beat no more

but your pulse

forevermore

The thing, is 

no things 

really matter

as your smile

shall underscore

this loving heart

that gives restore

Hey friend! I’m actually an author, and I read your story I really enjoyed it! From a fellow writer’s perspective, I think with a few small changes, it could shine even brighter. I’ve got some creative ideas I'd love to share with you if you're open to it!
