How will they remember me after I die?
What will they think when I'm away in the sky?

How many will show up at my final fest?
Will people be hurt when they lay me to rest?

Can the people bare the next day without me,
Did they see me as all I could be?

Did I make their life better,
Did I enhance it?
Did I change their life,
even in the slightest bit?

Were they different because they knew me,
or did I have no affect at all?
Was I there when they needed me,
Did I let them fall?

Was I a giving person?
Did I give them my helping hand?
Did I make a difference?
did I take a stand?

Was there something I could of been better at?
Were there places I didn't go?
My life has come to an end,
So what do I have to show?

Did I put a smile on anyone's face?
Did I have an influence on the people I met?
Were they glad they knew me?
Or did I leave behind great regret?

Do they have fond stories of the times we shared?
Was there evidence in my life that proved I truly cared?

Does anyone miss me?
Have they noticed I'm gone?
Did anyone look up to me?
Can they get by on their own?

These are questions I should ask,
Answers I should know,
Before its too late,
And from this earth I must go.
