Epitaph

What will be said of me When I'm dead and gone? What will people remember me by? Will they speak good of me? Or evil? I think not! I have always lived right And just. Helping both friends and strangers Giving comfort, providing solace Tried all that is humanly possible To be my brother's keeper I speak evil of no man Or woman... or child I watch and pray Five times a day Surely, people must miss me When I'm dead and gone Surely, I will be remembered! A satisfying smile Then, a thought! Why dwell 'pon this? In time, they will join you That would bother to remember you!
