its all worth it
If I ever live past eighty,
Will I have traveled my share of places?
Will I have shared my experiences?

If I ever live past seventy,
Will I have painted the world a different color?
Will I have made a difference?

If I ever live past sixty,
Will I have challenged myself enough?
Will I have won a battle?

If I ever live past fifty,
Will I have had my family?
Will I have lived enough?

If I ever live past forty,
Will I have shared my story?
Will someone care?

If I ever live past thirty,
Will I have graduated collage?
Will I have been successful?

If I ever live past twenty,
Will I have enjoyed my youth?
Will I have remembered my close friends?

If I ever live past fifteen,
Will I have had fun?
Will I have done my part to help?

If I ever live past tomorrow,
Would anyone know how much I treasure them?
Will I believe in myself?

If I ever do anything to change the world,
Even if it’s one smile a day,
One hug a week,
One thought a month,
Or one person a lifetime, it will all be worth it.
