Sketches of my life
what will others see.
When they look inside
at the heart of me.
Sketches of our worth
not in silver or gold.
But in our legacy
when we grow old.
Not material things
but the worth of the heart
that learned from pain.
Sketches of our memories
to the ones left behind.
The ones who saw us all the time.
Will the things they say be kind.
Sketches of the love we've given.
Has our life been worth livin.
What will our friends and family have to say.
About how we lived our life every day.
Sketches of time left in the past.
did we always do our very best.
When we leave this earth
never more to roam .
Will others know our
Heavenly Father took us home.
Sketches of what others
learned as we passed this way.
That we touched a life
in some little way.
Will they say our heart
was filled with giving.
Did they see us live a
life that was worth living.
Sketches of what others see.
In the life of you and me.
Did we live a life
that put others first.
Could they see in us a
hunger and thirst.
For the love of God when
times were at there worst.
Sketches of my life
what will others see.
When they look inside
at the heart of me.
Whats our worth do you know ?
To ourselves we must be true.
Did our life touch another.
Help or uplift a sister or brother.
Did they watch us pass this way.
Will they say we made a
difference in some little way.
Sketches of my life what will they say.
