One day will be the day
My eyes will close for an eternal nap
In a split second of thought before the darkness
I will ask "Have I tried?"
Did I do my best and then do some more
Did I give my all and then give more
Did I go from tired to exhausted from effort alone
Did I find time for others
Giving them the same effort
Did I get up when life put me down
Did I have plan B to Z
Did I try them all

One day, when that day comes
I hope to have one last gratifying smile
And through my final breath
I will answer "Yes"

BE
