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 ;-)
