Write Your Eulogy
WRITE YOUR EULOGY
Near the end of the walk on the long road
Under the setting sun’s cold twilight hue
You may look back at fading footprints old
That tells to write the eulogy for you.
In reverse time you fly in the old sky
Search within the archive your life has made
Some traits crumbled to dust you don’t know why
Some depict you lying obscure in shade.
A loving spouse sharing life’s each moment
A caring parent showing children dream
A happy person with no true lament
An optimist tries to cross turbulent stream.
This is what in your eulogy you’d see
Others would validate when you won’t be.
