When I look back on my life

Contributed by banjosandwitch on Friday, 26th December 2014 @ 06:22:28 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



When I look back on my life

I've done good things and I've done bad
But at the end of the day
I did the best I could do with what I had

Open the book and look inside
Secrets, lies now there's nothing to hide
My regrets, my mistakes
They mean nothing no more

On the next part of my journey
Where ever it may be
I'll take the knowledge learnt on earth
And teach others to see
How precious life is and not to waste it
But embrace it

When you look back at your life, will your story be fulfilling?
Did you make a difference?
Or where you to busy chilling?

Did anyone say they loved you?
Did people think of you and smile?
Did they say you where special?
There'll be no one like you here for a while

When they look back at your life
Do they shed a tear?
Or do they smile and laugh?
Thinking I'm glad I met (him/her)
It's a pity you're not still here

But when you go, you go
And as the sun sets each day and night falls
Please look up at the stars and say, I'll see you again one day foreshore

I like the sentiment of this.

We speak of love and remembrance
This does not come by happenchance
Lives lived and died in various hues
Tell the stories of me and you

A little free verse you have inspired.
