Who Will Remember You in 100 Years

In a century's span, will your name still be known?
When the winds of time scatter all you have shown?
Will the echoes of your laughter ring clear,
In the hearts and the minds of those you held dear?

It's not in the grandest of deeds we find,
The seeds of remembrance left behind.
But in moments of kindness, simple and true,
That's where the essence of you will shine through.

A smile you shared with someone in need,
A hand that helped others to succeed.
A word of encouragement, a lesson well-taught,
These are the treasures that cannot be bought.

In the quiet acts of love and grace,
Lies the power to leave a lasting trace.
For while statues may crumble and stories may fade,
The impact of your heart will never degrade.

So live with purpose, with passion, with care,
For it's the love that you give that will always be there.
In the whispers of memory, in the stories retold,
That's where your legacy will unfold.

In a hundred years' time, it's not fame you'll chase,
But the kindness you’ve spread in every place.
Who will remember you? The lives you've touched,
In their hearts and souls, you'll mean so much.
