If death came upon me today
What would I be leaving behind
I know there would be sadness
But hopefully joy too
Wonder, beauty, radiance, light
These are things I wish to give
Things I want to remember
When life gets monotonous
When I’m living for the passage of time
Instead of the beauty of life
I want to remember to give
Not just receive
To lift up, rather than pull down
To lighten loads, not make them heavier
To bring joy, not sadness
To let go of blame and failure
Of finger pointing and labelling
To focus on what is, not what isn’t
To breathe life into those around me
Not to suffocate them
So that if death came upon me today
I would be proud of the life I had lived
The love I had given
The legacy I was leaving behind
For those who knew me
