The Last Day

I hope that the last day of my life, I will see that the moon still has Its halo, the bird still has its song, Nemo is no longer missing, and life goes on. I hope to God I won't belittle those Happy times that left an impression, All the smiles I brought to others, And how none of those days passed unremembered. I assure you the last day of my life I will know I'll be remembered, I will be missed by those select few, And I'll know that I saved their lives. I hope I won't say goodbye to those Memories of sunsets, freshly fallen snow, Rainshowers, kisses under the mistletoe, Running through the grass in my bare feet, And even the promise of a new day. I hope that I can look back and see I respected my accomplishments (and had quite a few), Saw that my only wish happened (that the disturbed May see peace), and I always had someone At my side, urging me to go on. I hope that those ingenuine quotes Of love still take my breath away, But, most of all, I hope I can see That, looking back, life was worth living.
