How They Remember You
Our lives won't don't last forever
Sooner or later they will all end
And when that time does come
Will they say you broke or tried to bend?
Did you give up or give life everything you had?
Friend, you'll leave a legacy no matter what you do
Your life is your strongest message, make sure it's inspiring
In the end, it's not if, it's how they remember you

Dear Shelby
I am an old member returned and I checked your review request and noticed you only want moderate critique.
I think this has the potential to be a very good poem, but I feel it lacks in its language use, I am happy to offer suggestions but not knowing you I am going to leave that up to you.
I think it needs fleshing out a little and maybe adding a couple of more stanzas. maybe even one more?
Nice to meet you!!
Sincerely Jayne-Chloe
