When I become an echo
Remember me every moment
As one who visited your soul
As one who knocked on your heart
One who gave all his best
Working and making your heart a home
When I become the clip of memory lane
Remember me as that actor
Who lived and enacted love
Upon the theatre of your heart
The poor, comely, unrecognised actor
Who had nothing but the talent of charity
When I become the tales told by the moonlight
Remember me as one who made you laugh
One who passed on the torch of hope
One who failed but push you to greatness
Remember, I walked on the surface of your heart
Crossing the moon of your soul in the night of life
