Ball Point

by lynda-kerby

Bury me with a pen in my hand and a spiral notebook if you can So I can continue to scribble my words of kibble Of a lifetime in line tasting all of life's nibbles You can't cut in line when it's not your time to go But the best desserts are served last, this much I know Until that time when I say my final goodbye I write in awe of a life that makes me laugh as I cry So special this life it must be immortalized Or risk memories fading as dreams never realized But after I die with a pen in tight rigor mortis grip Throw in some paper for my next upcoming trip Boldly or timidly, I'll ask my God to decide Whether I enjoyed this gourmet banquet that He did provide (and did I get my fill before I died?!) Because I'm the one that writes my own menu With every bite of life that I do chew The price I pay for all of these nibbles Are purchased by all of my handwritten scribbles
