MAY MY LIFE INSPIRE YOU

“MAY MY LIFE INSPIRE YOU”
(written by Michelle L. LeBlanc  11/13-14, 16-17, 2022)
Dedicated to my son, Jayden Donald LeBlanc
.

I was only 16 when I passed away
Yet I had many dreams 
That I planned to accomplish one day

I bought my own motorcycle just before I turned 16
It was my first big accomplishment
Towards attaining my dreams

I was going to go to Treego for my very first time this fall
I had just asked my girlfriend to go 
Sure wish I didn't stall

I was pumped to go Skydiving when I was 17
This was a definite mission 
And not just a daydream

Planned to travel Canada with my best friend in a year or two
We were planning the whole thing out
Perhaps with other friends in the crew

When we graduated, we'd go into the army for 10 years
This would pay for our schooling 
And we would enter similar careers

Did you know I saved $10,000 when I turned 16?
I knew that saving was the key
In order to accomplish these dreams

I was on a mission, oh yes, I surely was
No one was going to stop me
I wanted to live without a pause


I wanted to enjoy my life while I had the chance
Didn't want to wait till I was older
And then do the regretting dance

My last mission was a big long bike ride before returning to school
A true ride of freedom 
Which I thought was pretty cool

I went all the way to Peggy's Cove to see the beauty there
I accomplished my dream
While smelling the fresh sea air

I may have died early and young
But in that moment, I was doing what I loved
And my heart had truly sung

Yes I had dreams in life and planned for follow through
Now I have just one last wish
That my life will inspire you

My hope is that in each of you, I will leave a trend
To re-evaluate each of your lives 
Before it comes to an end

May My Life Inspire You in the memories I left behind
Please never let the pain of my loss
Keep you all confined

May My Life Inspire You to be all that you can be
No matter how hard the course
This is my only plea

Please find strength in what makes you come alive
Set some goals and take the steps
Let your passion be your drive 

Yes, may my example inspire you to focus on your dreams
And may my energy empower you
So all your faces beam

May you never lose hope or give up the fight
For if you allow me to live through you
This will give me a breath of life!
