What Lasts

by Chani Zwibel / January 29th, 2017

Someone please chisel my words into stone
so they’ll be remembered, not forgotten, unknown.

Someone please chisel my words into stone
so they will last longer than this flesh and bone.

Someone please chisel my words into stone
so they will remain long after weeds rise, overgrown.

Someone please chisel my words into stone
that my life may be more than a dust-speck, wind-blown.
