I will go out in a blaze of glory. <br />One day I will die, as now I live. <br />I do not know all the answers <br />But this promise I can give. <br /> <br />Old age is only a small part of time <br />I can live forever within my youth <br />So as the smoke rises to the heavens <br />Use your hearts to see the truth. <br /> <br />A smiling figure with upstretched arms <br />A fiery robe and hair of flames <br />Eager for answers to my questions <br />From the eternal with many names. <br /> <br />Only loved ones may view my passing <br />Shedding no tears as the ashes burn <br />For they shall see the pheonix rising <br />And know that I return. <br /> <br />I am going out in a blaze of glory <br />For now I die as once I lived <br />Do not grieve, rejoice with me, <br />Share in all the love I give.<br /><br />Irene C S ClarkHogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blaze-of-glory-2/
