EPITAPH

My time is gone but that's OK
I've Learnt, I've Loved, I've worked, I've played.
Pleasure and happiness are things I have gained
More than I've felt sadness or pain.
But all things I've valued, at the end of the day,
I've been true as I can be, honest, always.

My time is gone, I've done my best.
Maybe now I can rest
I don't begrudge the time I've spent
The effort I've made, the hand I've lent.
I've never sought any reward,
Acknowledgement, return or gratitude
But if I've helped in any way,
Improved, maintained or helped keep at bay
Then that's my pleasure, my life's return.
That's more than most people ever earn.

My time is gone, but now I leave
My legacy, a kind of creed,
Do your best whenever you can,
Be there for your fellow man,
Value all people in each situation
Value all aspects of this creation
Avoid exploitation, offer assistance
Care for this world, it supports our existence.

My time is gone and here I am,
I've done my best before God and Man.
This is all that I could do.
The rest I shall now leave up to you.
