Epitaph Arthur Henry Isaacson
When from this world I take my leave
When from your sight I’ve gone
What will be the mark I’ve left?
That survives my moving on
There are no books that hold my words
My wisdom’s not enshrined
No monuments of stone or steel
My essence has defined
No signs to show the dreams I had
This traveler on his way
Or of the time I’ve wasted though,
I knew I couldn’t stay
What will be my sum of breath?
My work and yes, my play
What will remain of permanence?
To show I passed this way
What difference have I made by living?
By using time and space
Where in this vast eternal stream
Will I find my proper place?
How much of me will time preserve?
What memories will remain?
Who will I be when you recall?
Or will you try, in vain?
When you are all around my grave
This life for me then ended
When in my ship about to sail
Into earth’s care I’m tendered
Remember please that once I lived
And loved and cared and played
And each of you I carry on
Though to my rest I’m laid
