A One Page Eulogy Poem by Hebert Logerie

Some of us will have a one page eulogy
Just like most of us have a one page résumé
We will be remembered by one poem
We will be remembered by one sentence.

Life flashes in our face like a quick glance
Fire can easily spread when it's hot and sunny
We will be remembered by one je t'aime
We will be remembered another day.

Most earthquakes don't last more than fifty seconds
A twister can destroy an entire town at a glance
Enjoy life while we can uninhibitedly. Life is priceless.

We come as we go, don't take anything for granted
We will be remembered because we did our very best
We will be remembered ‘cause we're stubbornly unabated.
