I Am Proud to Have Done My Best

Lines on my face, like rings on a tree

Each one a chapter, a year lived by me

Through storm and calm, I've tried to stand tall

And give to this world the best of it all

Seasons turn, sun and rain

The circle completes, I can't complain

I am proud to have done my best

Like a tree, I have given my all

My branches grow and my roots run deep

A legacy of love I'll keep

If my time is now through

I pray my mark has been true

That I gave more than I took away

And leave the world brighter today

I've hoped that I've been the trunk, and my children the boughs

That they bend and they sway, yet stand steady now

From seed into shade, the circle is clear

The forest grows stronger with each passing year

Seasons turn, sun and rain

The circle completes, I can't complain

I am proud to have done my best

Like a tree, I have given my all

My branches grow and my roots run deep

A legacy of love I'll keep

If my time is now through

I pray my mark has been true

That I gave more than I took away

And leave the world brighter today

Every root, every scar, every climb

Wove a story of purpose, gave shape to time

When the wind takes me home, let my legacy be

The shade and the shelter of my family tree

I am proud to have done my best

Like a tree, I have given my all

My branches grow and my roots run deep

A legacy of love I'll keep

If my time is now through

I pray my mark has been true

That I gave more than I took away

And leave the world brighter today, brighter today

Lines on my face, like rings on a tree

A life well lived is enough for me

A life well lived is enough for me
