As you look back on your life
How would you like to be remembered?
Were someone to write a book on you
What would you want entered?
Your grieving family
Who know you better than most
Life long friends who’ve got your back
Of your achievements they proudly boast
The struggles you endured
Compassion in your endeavors
Being a team player
Receiver and returner of favors
The learning and teaching of trust
The difference between honesty and deceit
When to risk your heart
And when to retreat
A legacy we leave behind
The ripples in our wake
Who will read between the lines?
Stand on our behalf for our sake
We all have regrets
Things we did or didn’t do
Of that I myself am guilty
This I ask of you

Good words AP, we all have regrets but we can do nothing about them now so we just move on having learned.

And we learn from our past. Thanks Andy.
Loved "The learning and teaching of trust, The difference between honesty and deceit, When to risk your heart, And when to retreat"! This is a big one!!! All about balance!!! Truly enjoyed reading it!! Thank you!
Thank you Liz, Yes, trusting your own heart as well as someone else's is a definite challange. But we all get through it one way or another.
