Who will mourn for you?

Who will sing my song? Who will tell my story?
As I lay here in this hospital
unable to move or speak
Who will speak for me?
My husband has gone before me
No children to carry my name.
How will the world know
that I was here?
Did I leave this world a better place for having lived in it?
or will it heave a sigh of relief?
No tears for me
No songs or stories remain
Please Lord carry me home.
