Fill in the glad days,
the happy and sad days;
record the lovely and the dear.
Write down the triumphs,
the victories and bad bumps;
remember faith home and fear.
Recall the memories,
the school days and skinned knees;
jot down the work, the joy, the pain.
Tell of life's stories,
the heartbreak and the glories;
reading through, you'll live life again.
You'll feel great pride.
You'll feel warm inside,
viewing the road you've traveled on.
And what is more,
descendants by the score,
will know and love you -- for a life well done.
