I wonder if I'll be missed
If people will stop and reminisce
Of the days of yesterday
When I cherished every breathe

Will they smile in remembrance
Thinking of how I made them laugh
Or will they smile that I'm now gone
Swallowed up by deaths wrath

And to those people that I hurt
Will my apologies except?
Or will my plea for forgiveness
Be a pebble in the oceans depth?

A grain of sand on the waters edge
A single speck of dust
In the scheme of things
It's not so bad
Just a layer of Earths crust

I will join the soil
From where the flowers bloom
At least I lived a lifetime
Where others were taken way too soon

I will only regret not touching more lives
With my humor and my charm
But I've battled my own demons
That were cause for an alarm

My life had peeks and valleys
High days and the low
Always searching for the answers
Not many of us know

But my heart, my heart was
filled with love
For both animal and beast
There was good I saw in all
Even those who deserved it least

I do not know for certain
Whether God is real or fake
I know only of the story books
Written by a humans take

So in me there is some doubt
But my feelings' to believe
There is a greater power
That brings us to our knees

It gives us all some comfort
And that can't be all bad
If it spurns in you your virtue
Then it's worth its weight in sand

Eternity's forever
But nothing ever lasts
What's brought us all together
Which one of us will pass?

There is no such thing as perfect
When referring to a man
But the closest thing that we could come
Is clearly a woman

Such beauty around each corner
Over every curve and space
There is where I see perfection
Lost in their embrace

Mother Earth consumes me
Whether fair or foul
I use this term too loosely
Which may make people scowl

It's nice to have good intentions
But they're lost if you don't act
And they can weigh their heaviest
On a persons back

So LIVE before it's too late
Each moment of the day
Before you're laid to rest
Wondering what people will say
