A Life Well Lived (Anonymous)
A life well lived is a precious gift
Of hope and strength and grace,
From someone who has made our world A brighter, better place
It's filled with moments, sweet and sad
With smiles and sometimes tears,
With friendships formed and good times shared And laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy Of joy and pride and pleasure,
A living, lasting memory Our grateful hearts will treasure.
