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.
