A few lines from "The Fleeting Honors Of Men":
'When a person's life is completed
Their life is weighed and measured
Judged both privately and publicly
By the things they truly treasured
And people consider the milestones
That dot the life they lived
How they spent their time and effort
And the things they said and did
Many a person would be filled with pride
To have lengthy and accomplished lines
Filling their obituary
As they're remembered one last time
A final chance to impress the crowd
To once more fill them with awe
An obituary that reads like a resume
Describing a life nearly without flaw
Yet how often lofty accomplishments
Achieved during a "picture-perfect" life
Sacrifice the things that matter most..."
