A life well lived is a precious gift,
Of hope and strength and grace,
From someone who has made our world
A brighter, better place.
It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad
With smiles and sometimes tears,
With friendships formed and good times shared,
And laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy
Of joy and pride and pleasure,
A living, lasting memory
Our grateful hearts will treasure.
This poem defines ‘a life well lived’ not by duration or achievements, but by its positive impact on others, the richness of shared experiences (both happy and sad), and the lasting, treasured memories it leaves behind. It focuses on legacy and gratitude.
