A Footnote…
A footnote in the life and times
Of those we love so much…
Destined to the lonely realms
Of “I remember once…”
Life goes by in a swirling mist
Never slowing down…
A quick, hard ride…of hopes and fears
The end comes fast around.
When they stop to reminisce…
What thoughts will be of you?
A vague remembrance…lost in time
Or the lasting things you do.
The times you came and made them laugh
Or soothed a shattered soul…
Which things will slip away…and which remain
No mortal mind can know.
So do your best, laugh a lot
…If that be who you are.
Forgetting not, that in the end
We’re all just shooting stars.
