It'll Not Be Far Poem by Emmanuel Ojex

It'll not be far
till my heart turns stiff
It's not going to last forever
I'm well aware of this

It'll not be far
till I am forced to forget
all the merry we made so far
and the things we did and didn't get

It'll not be far
till I will be too sorry to say bye
for I am but an imperfect man
who's hurt you'll have kept in a pile.

It'll not be far
I know it will not be
I really never expected actually to come this far
So in my words, my spirit will be

In your hearts; minds
and souls
will my works drum beats of fire
and in your heads, will my spirit grow.

For I know it'll not be far
Before I join the voices in my head
Let me, in life go far
So I am accomplished before I join the dead.
