Immortality

(To my beautiful daughters, Amy & Melissa)

Immortality lies at my fingertips,

with pen and ink in hand.

I lay down words on paper,

much like a bricklayer laysbrick,

one by one.

Resolutely building a strong foundation,

a testament to all who live after me,

and view the enduring results of my labor.

Thus, I am forever immortalized . . .in prose!
