What Will Be Left Behind

As I live on in this world's endless time
Will I be able to leave something behind

When my end has finally come
And my last breath is all but done

Will the world sigh and say about me
It is now a kinder and gentler place to be

I would think there will be no bronze statues 
In parks in the city grass lands standing true

And it will be enough when someone thinks of me
That it brings a smile to their face for all the world to see.
