DailyThought #66 - After I Have Lived

Feb 21
1 min read

My life in retrospect is one I hope to be full of many successes and few regrets. I hope that after I have lived a life, as full as could be, that people will remember me with a smile and a tear: happy that I lived and sad that I am no longer. I hope that the work I tried to do moves people one way or another. I hope that my life brought change in the way that I wanted. And when it didn’t, that I did not hide in my head, but rather shared it. I hope that I had the ability to be tough, but the circumstance to never have to be. I hope that my hands lie tired beside me, for I got good use from them. I hope that my deathbed is surrounded by the people who loved me and their favorite flowers in hand. And I hope my funeral isn’t one that lives in the past, but rather, bleeds into the future. I hope that the work I did, stays alive, after I have lived.
