I will live on

My works will not be finished While am gone, I’ll again live I shall be to you as strength By the deeds I’ll behind leave. When my days are all done And am called back to rest To leave this dust I where on I’ll be living thou at rest. This promise I’ve made with self To touch lives now and hereafter While am gone my words will live To change you for the better. I’ll be living in my books In their words I’ll be alive I’ll be speaking to your heart Telling you to keep the strife.
