To Me It Will Not Matter

To me it will not matter when i have lived my last day If nice or unkind things others of me have to say Though i wish to live on for as long as i can Live since i will be of no use to anyone as a dead man There is an old saying never speak ill of the dead Though the dead cannot read or hear of what is written of them or said The great gift of life is the greatest gift anyone does possess A far greater gift than the wealth and fame of Worldly success As long as they speak the truth of me their opinions of me suits me fine For what others say of me is their business and their business cannot be mine Another old saying from the past i recall In life you may well win many but you will not win them all Since i am far from perfect i feel all too aware And what others say of me why should i much care.
