Have you ever wondered if you were gone, what would be said about you? This is what I wrote about what I believe that my friends would remember.

My Eulogy |
| by justageorgiaguy |

If I was gone tomorrow, would I be missed? When I am gone and my name is on St. Peter's list, I want people to go on with their lives as normal, A simple tribute will do, nothing formal. If I was gone tomorrow, would I be satisfied, Would I have accomplished something before I died? Have I made an influence in anyone I've met? Did I change someone's life before in the ground I am set? If one person is better because of me, If only for a minute a smile I did see, Then I believe that it was worth all the time I was here And I hold in my heart all my friends close and dear. If I was gone tomorrow, would people even care? Would they even notice that I was not there? I know some people would not be upset about me Those people, at my funeral I would not see. If no one was there, I would be sad, But in a way, I would be glad. I don't want anyone to be sad that I am not here, I don't want them to be sad or even shed a tear. I want to see them with a smile on their face, And not to see sadness in this case, I just want them to be happy that they knew me, And for them to know that I am finally set free. I will still be around anyhow, Even though they cannot see me now. I'll still be here to help heal hearts, Maybe now I can stop the pain before it starts. So do not be sad that I have gone away, Because in your heart, I will stay. As long as you continue to believe, There is no real reason to grieve. I'll still be around somewhere near, And you can call on me, and I'll be here. |

I was crying why i read this. It just really, absolutely touched me. I thought of this idea before, but really didn't bother to actually think it through. However, after reading this poem, I'm thinking. How will people be after I die? WOW. a gifted poet. I admire you justageorgiaguy. It touched me.

I loved it. "My Eulogy" was very well written. I think it's one of those poeems that forces people to think. Great Job
TIA
I FEEL LIKE CRYING. YOUR POEM REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING I WROTE MYSELF. THE NAME OF MY POEM WAS,"WHEN I'M GONE WHAT WILL THEY SAY". DEATH IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE A SAD . WE ARE SUPPOSE TO CELEBRATE THAT PERSON'S LIFE. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR POEM IT WAS VERY AWESOME JUSTAGEORGIAGUY.

I loved this poem it touched my heart many of the things that are mentioned in this poem is what people think about before they die. Will I be missed? Will those that hate me show up at my funeral? The poem was wonderful. Keep up the good work. I would also love to read another poem that is more happy.

I think that you are a truly inspiring writer. I lost my grandmother and best freind in 2000. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss her. Your poem is beautiful and reminds me of something that she would have said. I hope you keep writing, I'm sure that your words will continue to touch a lot of people.
Lana
This was great - I printed it and stuck it on the very last page of my 'thoughts' book (kinda like a diary full or poems). It was so fitting for my final page!
shannon
My goodness! Are you blessed with the gift of reading minds? So often I have wondered about my funeral. It's refreshing to know that I am not the only one! I'll tell you one thing, you are blessed with the gift of poetry. Use it, share it. It's a gift for you and for others to share! Thank you for sharing it with me!
