Memories vs Merits
The good times, and fitness
In albums borne witness
Falls short on the test
That determines one’s rest.
But stakes can be raised
By giving G-d praise,
Respecting a spouse
Within one’s own house,
Being noted Above
For doling out love,
And enriching ascent
On the charities spent.
Descendants will place
On the mantle Grand’s face
Then frolic near the shelf
Making memories of self.
