Analysis of Blessings
I will leave this earth as I came,
taking nothing.
But I will leave some of myself,
My children, grandchildren and all the
smiles I gave,even to strangers I met
and didn't know.
The good words I gave when they were
needed ,
Blessed not only me but the receiver.
Your path is preordained, your
steps are set.
Make sure you can say, you left your
footprints on this earth.
Then you will have truly been a
blessing to family and friends.
