Feeling Low

No child of mine will carry my name
No life will make that plea
I die and take my name unclaimed
Only a memory

To friends and those who read my words
And listen to my mind.
I leave a wisdom my life has learnt 
Written and left unsigned

I leave my love, I had a lot 
But those I gave it to
Were always just beyond my reach
Beyond my sight and view

I leave a heart it's worth a lot
I never used its power
I held it out in front of me 
It's worms that now devour
