Our Memory in Time: When Weighed Upon the Scales of Time

When weighed upon the scales of time,
Will it be some eternal rhyme,
Or will it be that final word,
A sound of laughter some have heard
That made the world a better place,
A joy to all the human race?
When sifting through the sands of time
Will there be found a nickel, dime,
A dollar, ten, a hundred more
That really evens out the score,
Or will there be better way
For battles settled on that day?
When gazing at the fruit of time,
Will it be some pure lemon, lime,
Some apple, pear or plum so sweet,
That brings ovation to its feet,
Or will it be that gift of love
As rendered to our God above
And shared on earth with fellow man,
As only one small child e'er can?

Love will be remembered in time.
