Once when my life will end
What will happen then?
How shall I be remembered
Amongst the mourners around me?
Will the sun be shining then
Or there will be rain,
Will they be praising me
Or give me a look with shame.
Will they be mourning with rose and wreaths in hand
Or they will be exhaling with a shy of great relief.
With shuffling thoughts and scores of doubts
I find myself in a shamble at last.
Suddenly I could hear - from deep inside my core
Wisdom of words were emanating - out from the soul.
They hit me so strong and deep
I had to take the following steps:
Don't do any wrong thing right from this moment
And no ill feeling in myself at the point of death,
Leave it in the Future's hand as how it will choose
Let the soul be clear at least from the conscience of myself.

Wise words written here Amitava, we would all like to be remembered as good souls, but we have to earn that privilege while we are alive, not just for our own sake but for the sake of others too.
Your words get the mind wandering, and as Valerie said we must earn this. A lot of baddies who may not hear a good word .I have... Will I Fill Room.. I was a Funeral Director for many years and have celebrated many lives lived after arranging their Funerals. Thank you
The last verse of this poem is very inspirational, Amitava. It makes me want to strive towards that perfect conscience of self. If not being human, it would be so. I will reach for that shining star of perfection. Thank you for illuminating the beginning pathway, it sometimes gets lost in the stress of living life. You have reminded me of it's essence, thank you. RoseAnn
