Essence Of Life

The essence of life Once one leaves Is not worldly possessions Nor wealth achieved It is the life’s that were touched Along the way Love given and received In hearts that will stay Special memories created Remain in hearts and mind To comfort and console The ones left behind

Nicely put, Deb, and, of course, completely accurate. When I go, they’ll probably throw a street party. But I’ll get the last laugh… when they want a shelf putting up ;-)
