When you look back, what can you say?
Did you bring something of use,
Something that you can be proud of?
Or did you just take, causing pain and misery?
Will others be proud of what you did,
Will someone thank you for what you’ve done?
Or will they celebrate now you’ve gone?
Are you an angel on Earth,
Bringing selfless happiness and joy?
Do you love with all your heart,
Never expecting acts in return,
Just knowing that feeling good is good enough?
For if you do,
Then you will know,
The meaning of love.
