Poetry: If I die today

As I lay me down to rest,

if I should die today.

I'd like to know I've done my best

To pave a better way

For my daughter and my son

Which is what I've tried to be.

Lord, if I should die to day

I ask that it should be

A time that all would say

I left a lasting legacy.

    If I die today

    Let it be said of me

    That I left the world

    Better than I met it
