The world is quick and unforgiving, <br />The seas are rough with many lost; <br />I've tried my best to keep on living <br />But I know I'll be a ghost, someday. <br /> <br />I know someday, my breath will leave, <br />The things I touch will never know it; <br />And all my loved ones left will grieve <br />But I know I'll be a ghost someday. <br /> <br />Try to remember only the good, <br />Though we must think it calamity: <br />A man does only what he could <br />Still to be a ghost, someday.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-i-ll-be-a-ghost-someday/
