When the spirit departs,

Only a shell remains,

Once a protector, sometimes a pro tester,

Now devoid of life, leaving an empty shell.

Dust we come,

And dust we must go,

What lies ahead,

No one knows,

When we depart.

We hope to reunite with our loved ones

Live! Live! Live your life,

Embrace each moment,

Love each other,

For our time is fleeting,

Whatever your beliefs,

Every day a gift,

Be better each day,

Uplift and love each other,

We may not see another,

Make a difference,

No matter how small,

Whenever,

You get a chance to be kind,

Please do it!

We have Angels,

Walking around us,

Some,

Will never know,

What they did or said,

A smile, a hug, a kind word,

That’s all it took,

To change someone’s day,

Or ultimately their life
