What Remains

We live and love, then pass away.
Memories of us linger on
inside the hearts of those who stay.
We live and love, then pass away.
We leave behind our DNA
and to our heirs – a brand new dawn.
We live and love, then pass away.
Memories of us linger on

A beautifully resonant triolet, Andrea. The repeating lines echo life’s inevitable cycle while the warm thought of love, memory, and inheritance gives the poem a quietly hopeful afterglow.❤️
