Do you ever wonder <br />What will happen when you're gone? <br />Will your life be food for <br />Others to reflect upon? <br />Did you make a statement, <br />Leave a legacy behind? <br />Did your life have meaning, <br />Were you passionate and kind? <br />Will this world remember you <br />For all things, great or small? <br />Did you do the best you could <br />When others came to call? <br />If you could do it over, <br />Would you live it differently? <br />Take the time to smell the roses, <br />Be the best that you could be? <br />Take the chances you were given <br />That you carelessly passed by - <br />If you knew your life was over <br />In the blinking of an eye? <br />Today is the beginning <br />Of whatever lies ahead - <br />So live like you were dying................... <br />And be glad that you're not dead!<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-re-gone/
