Remembered
Some people are remembered
For buildings they have built,
For monuments erected
Or statues thickly gilt.
Some people are remembered
For speeches that we quote,
For lasting books and stories
Or music’s stirring note.
Some people are remembered
For things that they designed,
For pulling back the curtain
On nature or the mind.
But, if my life’s remembered,
I hope it’s for the way
Folks saw God’s love and glory
In all I do and say.
