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.
