What would it be like
If towards the end of our lives
They showed a movie
Of our life and times
What would it be about
Would it draw a big crowd
What would the rating be
And would kids be allowed
Would they laugh or cry
Gladly pay the full price
When the scary parts played
Would they cover their eyes
Would we be ashamed
If our families came
At the end of the film
Would they see us the same
Would it be action packed
A Super Hero unmasked
If nobody else
Would our kids be impressed
Would they be happy or sad
When the credits rolled past
Would the movie explain
We did our very best
What would they find
If towards the end of our lives
They showed a movie
Of our life and times
