Rejoinder To Kpm and Cgr

It only takes a few years gone for everyone to forget that song; though often later generations will not keep their venerations of cherished family now long past, faint memories die off real fast! Faces lost, even distant laugh, if not captured in photograph; portraits peel and fade away unless in museum they do stay, and even when on wall they bask, most future viewers often ask “Who is that person? Who were they? Were they important in their day?” Statuary might be concrete, memoirs can be indiscreet, tombstones often wear away, nothing on Earth can long stay; we return to dust, one in the same while only few win lasting fame.
