Remember Me

I would be ashamed if I die now,
Until the world knows my name,
And to great men become an omen,
Not because I am rich or had fame.

Remember me not because of wealth,
Nor for the women I kept.
And an omen become to great men.
For I’ll wake them up all lives that slept.

Books will be written for kids to read;
Of how I had touched lost souls.
And to great men become an omen.
Giving my shoes to walk on my soles.

Remember me forever I plead.
Do not tell my stories false.
And an omen become to great men.
While they all sing and dance to my waltz.
