By Stands with a Smile
Date: 22 November 2000
The meaning of my life
When the day has failed me
and friends
are no comfort
When I forget
the meaning and purpose
of all I do
When I am old
within my soul
and life holds no joy
When I would wish
to be one of wealth
or more perfect face
I look
at the smile
that gives me life
When I am dead at last
write upon my stone
"He found his purpose late in life
and rejoicing, He married her.
