Purpose in Mortality
If it’s my last day
Know that it’s okay,
May be only eighteen
But lately I’ve dreamed
I’ve flown over seas
And climbed in caves beneath their feet
I’ve seen the sunrise
And set
I’ve had my highs
And done nothing I regret
Maybe I don't get to change the world
But who knows if I ever even could
Know that seeing the leaves change colors
Seeing children play
Seeing smiles
That’s all it takes
I’ve laughed enough to leave lines on my face
And with everyday, I’ve forgotten memories, I never wished to erase
I’ve drawn enough to wear out pencils
I’ve walked enough to dirty shoes
The miles on my car are proof
I’ve lived enough to carve a groove
In people’s minds
And hopefully a heart or two
When I’m gone
Don’t be upset
Use this as fuel to congregate
Amongst yourselves
Among the world
Don’t shed a single tear
Or wonder what would be
Just see today
And that’s enough
Better the world
Better their hearts
Don’t let this be a waste
Spread love and laughter
Today
Everyday after
