We’re all important in different and various ways But we shouldn’t ever get to caught up in our own significance or self-importance Whatever we believe, we are transient Whatever pigeon hole, box or compartment of our lives, we are transient Friends, strong friends, we may bump into but rarely do we seek or be sought out with any regularity We hear ourselves say “we should do this more often” but we rarely do We are all guilty Work environments, once left, people quickly fade An acknowledgement that the world moves on Quite rightly so We are transient Even with families, that most permanent of connections, time erodes any permanence Most can remember our parents and even grandparents but how much beyond that We are all of us, transient Our lives are relatively short, for most our legacy is even shorter Very few people have any form of permanence in history This doesn’t mean we are irrelevant To the contrary We can be important and influential in a number of ways It’s important to remember Who you are What you are How you are Be true to yourself but know life for what it is In not so many years, no one will know any of this
