Memory in perpetuity
Desire  in perpetuity memory to last
To recreate  at present , future history of the past
The lives you touch to
benefit
Alone stands out as  your precious gift

Statues, monuments built in your name
Briefly spread story honour   and fame
No pleasure and joy to recall
However artistic, creative and tall

Beneficial schemes that soc iety  deserve
In your name humanity  need
 serve
A purpose to fill and address a cause
Memory will resound without the  button pause

Good  deeds and  action will linger
None will raise  accusations of  selfishness finger
Lovingly will relate and recall facts
The beneficiaries in gratitude obligingly   reacts

A century hence  what does a   name  gain
The most famous not even in our consciousness remain
Heroes of history replaced by new
Those who remain in  eternal memory  are miniscule few

Those who worked tirelessly for personal  glory
Into dustbin of history dump their story
No selfish  individual lives in our minds and hearts
Memories  evaporate sooner than they depart

Everyone must  live in doing good
It enhances the  recipients  mood
Good that you do is never  internet in the grave
Rejoice and celebrate over  the lives you  did save
