Here's a piece I edited from Elizabeth Kubler Ross some years ago.
It can stand as what I truly believe!
Our Purpose
Whether or not we understand fully who we are,
or what happens when we die;
It is our purpose as human beings
to look within ourselves,
to find and build our individual
strength and understanding.
And then reach out to others,
with love, acceptance, and patient guidance;
in hope of what we may become together.
And this one is from the oft quoted "Author Unknown"
May Evening Find me Gentle
Give me a few friends who will love me for who I am
or am not.
Keep ever burning before my wandering steps
the kindly light of hope.
And though age and infirmity overtake me
and I come not in sight of the castle of my dreams,
teach me still to be thankful for life
and time's old memories
that are good and sweet.
And may the evening twilight find me gentle still.
