What will be remembered?.
It's not the money that you made,
or the titles that you gained,
or the hours that you stayed
long after all the others
had gone on home.
This is all part of whatever
job you have undertaken.
It is expected by those
who are your higher ups
and they will occasionally
promote you or grant you a raise.
That is how they will remember you
and your dedicated efforts,
for all of your working days.
But what will not be remembered
nor cherished is your anger that
creeps into your persona.
Your curt words and your sarcasm.
Your snide remarks
plus your scowls and frowns.
They will all be shuffled to the back
of the memories of those you hurt.
What will always be remembered
will be your kind face, your smile
and the love you share
with all your fellow men.
Your gentleness with your family,
each kiss that you pressed tenderly,
and all that you gave to charitiy
Arguments are not worth carrying.
They weigh down your souls
so just bury them.
But the loving words that you spoke to
your dear husband or wife will be
Remembered through all of their lives,
How you helped your friends
and even strangers in
small ways or even in life changers,
all of these will be your
most valued remainders
When your last breath is finally taken,
you will leave many feeling forsaken
on the new journey you are taking.
And don't kid yourself
the God who was responsible for your making
will remember all the good
and bad you've done,
and you will either be one of his chosen ones
or you will face whatever
judgment is to come.
So try to fill your life
with love and kindness,
and try not to fall behind this
and you will be,
what will be........
Remembered,
long after you are dust
in this you can truly trust....
in this you can truly trust....
What will be remembered
most of all
