When I Leave Here

When I leave this world one day This will be the last statement of mine that I will pray, And I know that God will be listening As my soul will then be glistening. No one did I ever use or abused And no one did I ever falsely accused, To no one did I ever lie or cheated And unto no one was I ever conceited. I am better than no one, and no one is better than me I say that with a proudness and a glee, And for everyone I always did care And when anyone needed my help, I was always there. I never believed in gossip or rumors I see them only as ugly tumors, They are used to destroy the body and the soul That is there only goal. I never broke a promise when I gave my word Truth and honesty I always preferred, And I have never hated a person and then judge And unto no one did I ever hold a hate or a grudge. If I owed you a dollar I would always return it to you Honesty and integrity I never did lack which is true, And no matter what others might had said or proclaimed Of no one was I ever embarrassed, or ever ashamed. I never gave out lies or false excuses For any reasons or their uses, And no matter who anyone was I was there for them, and I always gave them my help and love. If anyone ever needed to borrow my very last dollar I'd give it to them without a hesitation or a holler, I'd even give them the shirt off my very back If a shirt they did lack. I daily check on all the friends that I do know To see if they are alright or need anywhere to go, I do it with no recourse or with any favors in mind I always enjoy being helpful and kind. Though I might have been tricked, deceived or had I'm not at all upset or even mad, Because while the victories and wins that they were notching I was learning, and God was watching. Those will be the very last words that I will ever speak As probably once again I will turn the other cheek, And then, when or if you ever walk past my grave Remember, that God gave me the understanding to make me brave.
