Our life here is short and it soon will be gone.
Life is more about giving than what we accrue.
Our life’s but an instant, we soon will move on.
That our life here will end we all know to be true.
We came here with nothing, that’s how we will leave.
We mature while we’re here as we learn how to give.
Those we have known, for a time they will grieve,
But each will continue to breathe and to live.
What I give of myself in the days I’m alive
Can survive when I’m gone if I choose to let go.
I pray what I leave can continue and thrive,
Love shared from the heart can continue to grow.
Lord help me find something to give every day,
Leave something of value though I cannot stay.
So prayerfully thoughtful… beautifully put.
