Given
that some words
are forgotten
or hidden
in some corner
of past time
while others skirt
around the periphery
of the mind
to be resurrected
by memory
revoked
independent of the self's volition-
words verily
have their own DNA code
a life of their own

but
there are words
that live on
and never die

imprinted
in the hardware
of the heart
stamped into
the circuit
of the mind

only you alone
could find
those words within
that have shaped
your thoughts
and made you
what you are

upon the last hour
when all other words fail
these will remain
to stand by your side
speak on your behalf
to defend and clarify
never for a moment
in doubt of your integrity
proud to be your endless ally.
