The highest hope we can aspire <br /> Is to light a lasting fire. <br /> <br /> To put to pen some fragile phrase <br /> That may transcend our fleeting days. <br /> <br /> Mayhaps bequeath a tiny fragment <br /> A word, a line or tacit remnant, <br /> <br /> To reach across the tide of time <br /> And touch a soul, perhaps with rhyme.<br /><br />Charles J.
