Afore Ye Go

 

Do you think you led a good life?

Do the others think so too?

Did you add a touch of sunlight,

to the rooms you wandered through?

 

Did you value other people,

over eminence and things?

Did your kindness at least equal,

all your arrows and your slings?

 

Did you sell your soul for favour?

Did you try to win it back?

Did you feel your courage waver,

when it came under attack?

 

Did you falter when it ended?

Did you get back on your feet?

Were there wounds that never mended?

Was it too much to repeat?

 

Were you careful with your karma?

Did you give more than you took?

Would your happiness and drama,

be enough to fill a book?
