My new favourite poem

Hmmmmm it is just a lyrics of  a song actually,but I find it realistic

             tatoooooooo

No matter what you say about love,
I keep coming back for more,
Keep my hand in the fire,
Sooner or later I get what I’m asking for,
No matter what you say about life,
I learn every time I bleed, the truth is a
Stranger, soul is in danger,
I gotta let my spirit be free to…
Admit that I’m wrong, and then change my mind,
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind
I can’t waste time so give me the moment
I realized nothing’s broken
No need to worry bout everything I done
Like every second like it was my last one
Don’t look back at a new direction
I loved you once
Needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo, I’ll always have you,
I’ll always have you,
I’m sick of playing all of these games
It’s not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror,
It didn’t deliver, it hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind,
Sorry but I got to be strong and leave you behind
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo I’ll always have you,
I’ll always have you 

 If I live every moment,
Won’t change any moment,
There’s still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do.

HI ALLLLLLLLLLL THIS WAS ABRAHAM LINCONEs` FAV POEM ENJOY…….
ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S FAVORITE POEM        “I would give all I am worth, and go into debt, to be able to write so fine a piece as I think that is. Neither do I know who is the author. I met it in a straggling form in a newspaper last summer, and I remember to have seen it once before, about fifteen years ago, and this is all I know about it.” Abraham Lincoln wrote those lines in a letter to a friend, Andrew Johnston (a lawyer in Quincy, Illinois), on April 18, 1846.     The piece Lincoln was referring to was titled Mortality or Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? The author was a Scotsman named William Knox (1789-1825). Dr. Jason Duncan first introduced Lincoln to the poem when the two were living in New Salem. Lincoln memorized the entire poem and recited it so often that some folks mistakenly thought he was the author. The poem’s melancholy tone appealed to Lincoln. William Herndon, Lincoln’s law partner, thought the poem was (for Lincoln) a remembrance of Ann Rutledge as well as a discourse on the delicate nature of human life. The lines of Mortality are as follows:     Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, He passes from life to his rest in the grave. The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade, Be scattered around, and together be laid; And the young and the old, the low and the high, Shall molder to dust, and together shall lie.            The infant a mother attended and loved; The mother that infant’s affection who proved; The husband, that mother and infant who blessed; Each, all, are away to their dwelling of rest.   The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure – her triumphs are by; And the memory of those who loved her and praised, Are alike from the minds of the living erased.   The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne, The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn, The eye of the sage, and the heart of the brave, Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave. The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap, The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep, The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread, Have faded away like the grass that we tread. The saint, who enjoyed the communion of Heaven, The sinner, who dared to remain unforgiven, The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just, Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust. So the multitude goes – like the flower or the weed That withers away to let others succeed; So the multitude comes – even those we behold, To repeat every tale that has often been told. For we are the same that our fathers have been; We see the same sights that our fathers have seen; We drink the same stream, we feel the same sun, And run the same course that our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinking, our fathers would think; From the death we are shrinking, our fathers would shrink; To the life we are clinging, they also would cling - But it speeds from us all like a bird on the wing. They loved – but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned – but the heart of the haughty is cold; They grieved – but no wail from their slumber will come; They joyed – but the tongue of their gladness is dumb. They died – aye, they died – we things that are now, That walk on the turf that lies over their brow, And make in their dwellings a transient abode, Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road. Yea, hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, Are mingled together in sunshine and rain; And the smile and the tear, the song and the dirge, Still follow each other, like surge upon surge. ‘Tis the wink of an eye – ’tis the draught of a breath - From the blossom of health to the paleness of death, From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
