Notes About The Poem

How Do You We Want To Be Remembered

If we want to be remembered for our compassion…
for our humor…
for our grace…
If we want to be remembered for the love within our heart
for the smile upon our face….

If we want to be remembered as someone who listens…
someone who cares…
If we want to be remembered for our willingness to share.

If we want to be remembered for our acceptance of the entire human race…
If we want to be remembered for making this world a kinder…safer place…

If we want to be remembered for our generosity…
our tenderness
our willingness to give…

If this is how we want to be remembered…

Then… 

perhaps…

this is how we ought to live.
