what am i doing with this life of mine?
where am i headed and why?
if i died tomorrow would i be missed?
would anyone even cry?
i go through my life day to day and keep up the daily grind.
but often wonder where i’m headed, in this mundane life of mine.
i go to work, go to church, along the way, say hi to folks, barely sleep, make time to eat, everyday i simply cope.
but now, i wonder what difference i’ve made if my life should abruptly end.
would they even know that i was gone what has my legacy been?
did i take the extra minute to be kind, generous and giving or was i so self-seeking, caught up in merely living?
did i make a point to be the change that i so wanted to see?
did i make time in my busy schedule to love those with less than mi?
did i show grace and mercy in my smile and my walk, that when i’ve left this earth it still makes people talk?
well, today i choose to change my life, to open my eyes and see,
that there’s so much more out there,
