If this existence is only one chapter In the book of life, then visualize, The landscape that it has been, Full of color and fragrances That have delighted us, and yes, Along with dark clouds and barren events That have periodically shaped our intents. All we can hope that, looking back, We did the best we know how. That we did more right than wrong, And more good than bad. That as we live on in the memories of others, We bring more smiles than frowns. If our journey is to continue on, then Knowing that we shall be held accountable That our acts be not out of ignorance That our burdens be lighter and bearable.
