Those Last Few Moments

Those Last Few Moments ~ L. Milton Hankins

In those last few moments of this journey
When my life passes before my eyes,
I see a childhood mixed with misery and joy
Overall, I think I was a mostly happy boy.

But I will also see a lad full of determination
To be more successful than anyone ever thought
And so, many victories in my life will flash past
They are the most important things that last.

I will see them, the ones I have dearly loved
Experiencing places, things we shared in kind,
Memories were made that will never go away
Because I am leaving the best of them behind.

Most of all, I look forward to seeing her face
Who shared most of my best times on earth,
I think I shall see her waiting there for me
As I make the journey into that fond eternity.
