-A Life Well Lived

Some consider a life well lived 
What they have acquired and own
Wealthy, riches and objects to show
Living in a huge home

My belief on a life well lived
Has a very different view
Though it may sound simple
I believe it to be true …..

I feel at the end of your life
If you have time for reflection 
What will really matter to you
Will be simply true love and affection 

Have you loved and been loved
Been part of a happy family
Known the feeling of unconditional love 
And given it unconditionally 

Has your life been lived to its fullest
Making the best of the hand you were given
Will you leave this earth with few or no regrets
Having enjoyed the life you were living!

Is A Life Well Lived …..
