"What Kind of Message"

“What Kind of Message”

We live, we die life travels
Onward through each day
Always moving forward
With each breath we pay
Years ahead receding
Those behind to grow
Onward ever onward
Lifetimes thus will flow
We live each day with pleasure
Or live each day with pain
Onward ever onward
Through what years remain
Years though past or present
Speak of what we’ve done
Does our every action
Tell of battles won?
Will the years remaining
Speak of where we’ve been?
What will be their message
We to others send?
Gaze upon the passage
Of the years behind
Just what kind of message
Will there, others find?
