Life Was Long Enough For Me


I want to be able to say these things when my life here is over:

The life I led was good, and long enough for me.  Even if I didn't get to do everything I wanted to do in this life, I left my name in the world, even if it is just a memory now.  I lived long enough to see my family succeed.  I paid all my debts and dues to the people in my life who helped me through the toughest of times I couldn’t have survived alone.  I lived long enough to learn to love and be loved--and I understand that I'll find the people I love again in some other life beyond this existence.  I spent my life observing everything I saw, listening to those around me and hearing their stories because each and every one of them is important, and they will go with me on my journey, keeping the memory of them close to my heart until we meet again.  My life was not dulled long by pointless hate and scorn.  Many people came into my life, but few left from it.  I lived my life to the fullest, and forgave everyone who made any trespass against me or those I love, including forgiving myself for my own sins.  I did what I came here to do, and I learned a lifetime’s worth of lessons from my experiences, so I don’t regret a moment of this life I’ve had the privilege of living.  Life was long enough for me.
