Questions

As I sigh my last breath
Embracing sleep for all time
Did I squander the moments
Did I live my own life
Was my reflection to the world
An image of lies
To be what they wanted
Content just to hide 

Was there life without boundaries
What I dreamed I could touch
Did I learn from my failures
Was my faith strong enough
To see beyond limits
To never give up
Knowing true wealth is measured 
With friendship and love 

Did I open my heart
To those that I know
Did I reach out my hand 
For a stranger to hold
Did I cherish the simple pleasures in life
Did I dance in the rain
Did I greet a sunrise 

Will I be remembered or forgotten 
With the passing of time
Was I kind to this world
That I leave behind

Well, you certainly are asking the right questions, so if you haven't yet, now's the time. Very introspective with lots of depth to this read. Love, Shar
