MEMORY

We don’t know

What life’s about

Sometimes it’s just

How it turns out

 

Our time on earth

Is not forever

We come and go

Just like, bad weather

 

At work and play

Our time is spent

But in the end

What has it meant

 

To change the world

If we succeed

Are we, remembered

Or, just the deed

 

Does what we’ve said

Or what we’ve done

Have meaning only

When we’re gone

 

And if in time

We are forgot

Our life on earth

Was all for not

 

Is what we do

Or what we say

Kept in a record

In some way

 

If what we’ve done

Whether good or bad

No longer matters

Is that not sad

 

If we didn’t contribute

Had nothing to bring

Are we null and void

Not worth a thing

 

The only way

That we endure

Is in a memory

That’s for sure

 

Is this our destiny

For what we’ve wrought

Are we worth a memory

Or are we not
