That day will come, of the final sunset
That this journey has to end; hence,
You should be sure that
Yourself you have met
Beyond life, the world goes on
That’s how time is designed
One day you’ll see the last dawn
So can you look back
And see the footsteps you’ve left behind?
Two truths you should know:
Tomorrow begins today, they say,
And yes, that is true
You’re building your future today
No one else will:
Your legacy has to be made by you
What have you got?
More importantly, what’ll you return?
The end matters not,
If you have left
Your memory on every turn
Only curiosity, no fear
When it’s time for you to leave
Have you utilized your moments here?
If yes,
Then you can believe
Believe that, the world is better than
How it was before you
That you’ve left your imprint and you can
See the fact,
Know that it’s true
If you’ve made your life count
Fear not, friend
No fear, only curiosity
Because the end
Is not the end.
