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.
