Memorials and Monuments

Rulers throughout history
have built proud monuments
trying to avoid being forgotten
in this physical world.

You have chosen to
build a memorial of prayers
before God; who stores every tear:
eternal.

Some plant seeds
hoping to inspire care
for the future generations
of this abused Earth.

You plant seeds of Truth
hoping to inspire future generations
to care for their easily-broken
eternal perspective.

Some hoard treasures
leaving behind fortunes
that in the end
have finite impact and benefit

You invest in souls,
storing up incorruptible
treasures in heaven;
Permanent. Infinite.

Physical and spiritual dance
together in this life.
But only one will dance forever.
You have chosen to impact forever.
