TO BE REMEMBERED

 

When I look at the transitory nature of our existence

and think of how fast the hours, days and years go by…

then see how much hatred is in this world

I wish those of you who hate would stop you hate for a moment

and as yourself WHY?

Then follow this up with another question…as a fellow human member

When your life is over….How do you want to be remembered?

When you scream obscenities at another person…

show them they are not welcome here…tell them to go away….

If you should die tomorrow…are these the last words

you want someone to hear you say?

 

Instead…If you were to die tomorrow…wouldn’t it be great

If the last words people remember you by

are words of love…not hate?

Perhaps today is a good day, to consider your gifts to the world…

to ponder your legacy…

to think of the words and actions you use

before they become someone’s memory.

Do you want to be remembered for the wars you created

or for your impartiality…

for your greed…for you divisiveness

or for our generosity?

Do you want to be remembered for your hatred 

of those who are different than you……

which has caused you to build walls…

or for your goodwill your kindness…your acceptance

your compassion and love for all.

In your fleeting time upon this Earth…

It is something to think about…

How do you want to be remembered…

when the light of your life…burns out?
