Our Last Thoughts

We live life as we choose
We construct who we are
Our thoughts are our own
Our values must guide us

We choose if we’re happy even when we are sad
We choose if we honour ourselves
We choose if we honour others
We choose if we honour love

Our last thoughts need to bring us comfort
Our last thoughts need to remind us of love
Our last thoughts need to remind us of joy
Our last thoughts need to bring us respite from the pain
Our last thoughts need to remind us that we chose the best we could
Our last thoughts need to remind us that we knew what mattered
Our last thoughts need to remind us that we lived the best we could
Our last thoughts need to bring us peace
Our last thoughts need to be of love
Our last thoughts need to be glad
