What we leave behind

Upon this fragile marble bright,
we walk between the dark and light.
Footprints in the shifting sand,
memories sown across the land.

Echoes of the songs we sing,
the gentle hope each morning brings.
A legacy of love we share,
for oceans deep and forests fair.

Not just ashes, not just stone,
but a warm world to call our own.
A sacred promise we must keep,
to guard the earth before we sleep.
