Have I given of myself...
or did I spend life on a shelf.
Did I give to those in need,
or cast a shadow on that seed.
Did I reach out...or pull within,
It's hard to share where I have been.
Will the Lord say...well done my child,
when I am walking my last mile.
Live each moment while you can,
and for worthy causes...make a stand.
You can only do the best you can,
and from your battles...you never ran.
So pat yourself upon your back,
and may of love...you never lack.
