Memories vs Merits

The good times, and fitness In albums, borne witness Disappoint on the test That determines one’s ‘rest’. The 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 who’ll place On the mantle, Grand’s face Will frolic near the shelf Making memories of self.
