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
