Here's the poem if you don't want to use the link:
Your
Life
You live your entire life.
You are born and you grow.
You go to school. You learn.
You make friends and fall in love for the first
time.
Your heart is broken. You learn to deal with pain.
You walk in the woods and learn to stop and feel
what Nature has to offer.
You have kids and become a parent,
And you learn to give them the best you have to
give.
You learn to let them go and still love them.
You work. You donate time to charity.
And you continue to grow.
You learn to laugh more easily and to give advice
more willingly.
You pray in church and in the woods.
You travel to new countries.
You hike in the mountains and experience all that
life has to give.
You touch others with your joy, your character and
your heart.
Your friends cherish you and you don’t even know
this because it’s not the way your mind works.
You grow older and you say good-bye to loved ones
and friends,
And you still find time for others.
You are one of life’s good ones.
And then you become ill and begin to fail and after
a time you are gone.
And life goes on.
Yet, believe me when I say that you are not lost
from us.
Your spirit lives on in all whom you have touched.
And so in this way,
Your life is eternal.
Yes, Mom, it truly is.
