Our claim to fame
As I stand before the pearly gate
I reflect upon the hands of fate
The nature of my swift demise
That caught us all; quite by surprise
Reflections on a life well lived
Proud of what I’ve had to give
Pleased with those I leave behind
No desire to press rewind
What has been my claim to fame?
Will those left still know my name?
My life has been a lesson learned
The love I felt was surely earned
I leave behind my finest treasure
Love and knowledge beyond all measure
Future faith in life restoring
To build a world more reassuring
