If I die today,
Speak nothing more than truth,
I didn't die a hero,
I didn't miss my youth.
My legacy in fire,
Burn away the chaff,
not the greatest man you knew,
But missed the makers wrath.
So say "he's a broken light
that craved to mend himself.
He trusted in the Lord who saves,
considered Him true wealth."
I don't want people to pretend I'm a greater person than I actually am when I die. But to remember me with complete honesty, as a flawed person who felt a need for God.
Thanks for reading.
