A chance 
 
To be human 
To wake and stay awake 
To speak and be heard and understood 
To live and make a living 
To come and be welcomed 
To love and be loved 
To go and be missed 
 
To act and inspire 
To react and cause change 
To have and be able to give 
To be acknowledged for who I am and not the idea of me. 
To laugh and contaminate the sad and miserable with brief joy 
 
To sing and move, uplift the masses and numb their woes 
To remember all lessons and make good choices 
To be aware of true self and redirect my sentimental elements 
To take full charge of my emotion constitution 
To increase the value of life for a safer reliable world 
To die an honourable memorable hero’s death 
For future generations to know I was here…
