I breathe out life
throughout my page
so many different authors
All influenced by one name
though so old
I still live on through every age
I bring hope and correction
People don’t understand the correlation
If only they would read deeply
absorb my words completely
They would come to find
all the answers for their life
but I’m too old they say
too outdated; I don’t apply to today
society says I’m only stories
fictional based; so they don’t worry
about my messages and warnings
If only they knew
If only they knew
I’ve lived throughout time
outlasted generational lives
my words have and will live on
even when they are forgotten and gone
Oh how I wish they knew
how much I could change their lives for good
If only they knew
If only they knew
