One Day Unto My Grave I Go (poem 19)

One day let my grave stone stand towering and superior above all others.
For one day this is all that shall remain of my legacy.
 
One day unto my grave I shall go, a body given back to the earth.
But let not my name be forgotten as my body remains rotting.
 
One day let my final words be ones of honour.
For one day this is all that shall remain of my legacy.
 
One day let my epitaph read "“I came, I saw, I did it all……. But thank god thats all”".
For one day this is all that shall remain of my legacy.
