A revised version of my original:

How Will I Be Remembered?

Gee, I wonder. How would I be remembered in the hearts of folks?
Would I be a wooden wheel that turned without its spokes?

Would I be a place where someone would never go?
Would I flourish daily in hearts, a yes or no?

Would all my faults be pointed out and focused on the most?
Or would they tell of other things and raise their glass to toast?

How would I be thought of by my family and my friends?
Would my passing be a blessing, a welcomed closing as it ends?

Who would stand up for me to mention what I'd felt?
Who'd bother to tell my story about the cards that I'd been dealt?

Would they speak of me with compassion, and of gifts?
Or would they speak of my pitfalls and point out all my rifts?

What would my last impression be that I'd leave upon their heart?
Would they simply close the lid and relish their new start?

Would they tell of the love within my heart and soul
For those that mattered most to me and that giving was my goal?

Would anyone think to mention how I adored my mother so
Or to make acknowledgement that my daughter made me glow?

Will they speak of the love that I felt within my heart
For Jesus and my Savior? Will they recognize that part?

And lastly, would anyone, really, miss me in their lives ahead?
Or would they simply be relieved of my presence so gone and dead?
