Celebrate Life
It’s a time to celebrate when it’s time to go
For the life lived like a river’s flow,
Nothing left behind, legacies ephemeral
Whether or not you have anything to show .
While we’re here there’s spirit and soul
What’s left is nothing but memories,
That fade away, gradually, in the mist of time
In the form of fireside winter stories.
So, let’s learn to leave some smiles behind
Nothing else bequeathed to another mind,
Let’s hope, then, that the uttered words
Are no other than, he/she was very kind.
Live it well, live it complete
Do all that you ever wish to
Knowing, how fickle is Destiny
We must our best, always, do.
A happy thought left in a corner somewhere
Much more than all else that we can ever leave,
A shadow of doubt now lingers, though
As changed is the fabric that we now weave…..
Alas! Sadly so.
