When I Die...


When I die I will never be remembered with the vast sums of money in my bank account. I want people to remember me... for my laughter.... for the times I made people laugh... let me be remembered that I helped make the way a little better for the next person coming up... let me be remembered for the trees that I planted, but never sat under...for the fruit trees that delight the children whom I will never know. Let me be remembered.... when I die pluck the flowers from my own garden and adorn them over my urn. Let those who knew me the most say he was brave....but he showed me his weakness....he worked hard, but he showed me his weary hands... that he knew hunger but shared his meals with me...let them say this...this is love magnified... Love expressed. We remembered his universal recognition of each and every person individual humanity. We remembered how he fought for the ideals and values he believed in and how he instilled those values in us. When I die.... let memory find these things in me.
