Who Was He?

this poem is very interesting. I can see the truth of it. We never know who those invisible people are or what their past was.
notes:
Perhaps a person of wealthy needs
are you sure about this line?

What I liked about your poem is that you gave a homeless man purpose and dignity. You made him grand, wealthy, generous, and a protector of his country. His life was greater than him method of burial. This was a positive poem. Well done.

Dear Mystery Person,
Hmmm... I see where you're going and I like it - but I don't think any epitaph would be written from the first-person pov, you know? The 'I think' leads the reader in a different direction than to consider just what the tombstone might say - then we're suddenly thinking, 'well, who wrote this?' and other questions about the composer INSTEAD of thinking about the dead person.
Also:
Perhaps a person of wealthy needs
Who gave to the people with monetary seeds
--> If you'll permit me to say so - I would like to recommend you consider a small edit to something like:
--> Perhaps a person of wealthy (seeds)
Who gave to the people with monetary (needs)
Does that make sense?
Thanks and good luck!

Yes an interesting angle on the Epitaph prompt - and with thought-provoking possibilities as to who may lie there - final line effectively stated - thanks for sharing

A well written epitaph about a stone on an grave marked unknown. Who knows what sad story lies behind this. Very good rhyming and perfect picture for your post.
