If i should die today, let it be in peace,
knowing that i have done all that i can to be a blessing;
Reaching to hearts far and wide, both blacks and whites,
from both sides proclaiming hope to souls that need caressing;
May my death not be one experienced in the agony of regret,
May i sigh in relief as i take my last breath;
Knowing that hearts have been fed, souls mended, and lives changed
because i walked selflessly as i took each step;
Tis this my plea my God to thee, let me not live for me my self and I,
But the earth should groan as it looses one of its own, if today be the day that I die.
