When I depart
I wonder what song will be playing in my head
I wonder what sentence I’ll quote
And from what book or which person
What will be my soulโs desire?
Will I have fulfilled all my goals?
Would I have lived my dreams?
Will I have found my purpose?
Will I have fulfilled it to its fullest?
Will I be proud of the life I’ve lived?
Will I be remembered and cherished?
Or will I be forgotten as though I meant nothing to the universe?
What song will they sing for my departure?
Will the Angels be there to claim what is left of what used to be me?

Do good , to those who love you and they shall remember you with good things. forget about enemy bcz good or bad things they will always have something to tell or say .
That's a difficult one cos it's very hard to be righteous. So we don't know if the angels will come close.

No one knows what will really happen when we depart but the only thing I know for sure is that when you do good things to people,They will surely remember you
A departure without any effect on people lives in your local area seem east but when a generous and good person depart his community miss his presence
Most people ask themselves such questions, actually few people and some just live like there is no tomorrow!
