The Last Flicker

The circle is starting to come together, Like a storm you feel it approach and you brace for uncertain weather. You know that your flame which once burned so bright, Will be extinguished like a star that shoots across the night. You just hope that you made a difference and were the best that you could be, That you led no one astray and was a good influence for all around to see. And when your candle makes its final flicker, You’ll be ready to go without a qualm and face this day with just a snicker. You can never have things finished or completely in order, No matter how hard you try it only gets harder. My motto used to be “always try to leave things a little better than you found them,” And I hope when I’m gone people will say, “Gosh I'm going to sure miss him.” Or maybe he was a good guy or he was a true friend, That is how I’d like to be remembered and thought about in the end.
