When I Leave This Life

When I leave this life, 
I cannot say if I'll be mourned,
but I think I will be....

When I leave this life, 
I cannot say where I will go,
but I hope God will be kind, 
I pray and ask Him to be so.

When I leave this life, 
I think I will be missed,
at least a little... and 
that is enough--for 
life must always roll on, 
never stopping too long, 
not even for grief or sorrow--
a little sadness is enough,
for joy should fill life and 
the myriad dreams of life.

After I've left this life, 
will I miss those in this world,
long to touch my wife, 
to talk with my friends, 
to see and hear and laugh 
with everyone I love...?
