when i leave this universe, i hope you remember me as…

someone who loves life.

someone who complains and then laughs.

 someone who does not mind getting lost.

someone who cries when you’re hurt – and showers you with hugs to ease the pain.

 someone who dreams…and dreams BIG (Believes In God).

someone who falls so many times – and chooses to stand strong.

 someone who loves you – no matter what.

someone who believes that anyone can make a difference.

someone who sees you for who you are – and what you can become.

and when one day when i can’t remember why,

or when i can’t see clearly,

 or when my feet stop jumping,

or when my mind forgets,

or when my ears hear selectively,

i hope you're there to make me smile.

i hope you’re there to remind me that somehow...

hope survives.
