Analysis of Your Way On Earth
Your charm will be forgotten.
Your air will lose its couth.
You will be remembered for your sincere truth.
Your catch will be forgotten.
Your hunt will lose its prey.
You will be remembered for your cheerful play.
Your style will be forgotten.
Your chic will lose its flair.
You will be remembered for your gracious care.
Your fame will be forgotten.
Your star will lose its shine.
You will be remembered for your peaceful sign.
Your shape will be forgotten.
Your form will lose its awe.
You will be remembered for your tender draw.
Your thrust will be forgotten.
Your push will lose its shove.
You will be remembered for your up-front love.
Your grade will be forgotten.
Your mark will lose its spot.
You will be remembered for your faithful shot.
Your things will be forgotten.
Your stuff will lose its worth.
You will be remembered for your way on earth.
