Poem #294 Remember


We try to be remembered.

We carve our names and our purpose

onto every surface, we can touch

and onto every heart, we can reach.

Trying to ensure that good or bad

a part of us still lives on,

engraved in someone else.

We are wrong for this

for the topic of existence

was never supposed to be us.

The story was never ours,

but the Writer's,

we are but tools surrendering ourselves to Him,

carving His name instead.
