What will you be thinking about?
When your balance between existence and departure,
is losing its edge, sliding towards the end.

When everything lays on the line
Past fires rekindled with tears in your eyes
Dangling over the abyss of freedom
Looking into the great hereafter
Has your task been completed?
Phantom steps been taken, tolls been paid,
Time been served, meals been made,
What will your soul's diary reveal?

Will you be reading one with a happy ending?
Dear owner, It is my last entry.
We have been through many great times.
I am proud to be part of this successful being.
Our duty has been fulfilled, and our mark has been left.
Cheers to the closing chapter of a remarkable life, rich with
success and wealth.

Or, will you be reading about a melancholy departure?
Dear owner, this will be my last entry.
I am breaking down in tears about closing this book.
I will miss your wife, friends, and children.
Remember that time when you surprised her
at work with those roses, and hid behind her desk?
I am proud to be part of you, for we made good friends,
and lived through happy relationships. I will miss everyone
that we have met and spent time with.
Cheers to being loved.

Which will your soul be the author of?
Spending your life working and making money,
having success and good grades,
what will it amount to?
Sure, a nice chapter will be written about your fame,
wealth, and the mark that you left.
In the final sentence, will you be writing the closure
of a hard worked life, or of beautiful relationships?

Now tell me, what will you be thinking about?
When your balance between existence and departure,
is losing its edge, sliding towards the end.
The passion in your eyes, the filmstrip of a soul.
What will they contain?
