How Will I Be Remembered?

What will they say about me?
Those whom I hold so dear?
What will they remember best?
When I am no longer here?

Will they recall mistakes I've made?
Battles, I never won?
Moments of pain I've caused them?
Things I have left undone?

Will they censor my human failings?
And wihs I'd been noble and stong?
Will they scoff at the hopes I nurtured?
The dreams that somehow went wrong?

Or will they be moved by compassion?
Directed from Heaven above
To temple their judgment with kindness
Momories with love

You must be able to do three things
To love what is mortal
To hold it against your bones
Knowing your own life depends on it
And when the time comes to let it go
To let it go
