~~ Before I Go ~~




When my life has reached it's very end, and I take that final breath,
I want to know I've left behind, some "good" before my death.
I hope that in my final hour, in all honesty I can say,
That somewhere in my lifetime, I have brightened someone's day.

That maybe I have brought a smile to someone else's face,
And made one moment a little sweeter, while they dwelled here in this place.
Lord, please be my reminder and whisper softly in my ear...
To be a "giver", not a "taker," in the years I have left here.

Give to me the strength I need, open up my mind and my soul,
That I might show sincere compassion, and love to others before I go.
For if not a heart be touched by me, and not a smile was left behind...
Then the life that I am blessed with, will have been a waste of time.

With all my heart, I truly hope, to leave something here on earth.
That touched another, made them smile and gave to my life ... worth.
