Before
I Go
When
my life has reached its 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.
