I think about the time that's passed- And all I've seen and done. The finish line approaches fast, My race is almost run. The places where I've spent my time, The heartaches and the fun... And if I could erase some scenes, I wouldn't change a one. Mistakes? Why, sure, I've made my share- And, wrong? I've done that, too. And lies? Admittedly, I have... But then, friend, so have you. So when I cross the finish line- My name, carved on some stone- Let this line be my epitaph... "He lived, he loved, he's gone". |

A line like that really says it all. Those are the most important things to do in life. God bless America, my home sweet home. |

It's point is clear and the point is a great one at that I think I agree with these setaments, though at the moment i wonder what would happen if one memory i were to change.. Who knows! All I know is this is a great poem! Freedom is not Free (Korean War memorial) |

The perfect epitaph. I like this. Can I steal it for mine when the time comes ?  If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
