Life is an uncertain journey,
a road with some bumps or a bend.
No matter how rough or uneven,
we never know when it will end.
It could be today or tomorrow,
next year, or, just any day.
There is one thing that is certain,
life will be taken away.
So, consider how your life has mattered,
to those that you must leave behind.
Will they remember someone uncaring?-
Or, someone who was gentle and kind?
A someone concerned for their future?-
to ensure all of their family needs?
Some day they too will be remembered,
for their thoughtfulness, and good deeds.
So you see, your life really has meaning,
to ensure children’s delights never cease.
We must show them the path to be taken,
let our life help lead them – to peace.
