There is a part inside many of us
that desires to live on, to persevere
beyond our body’s expiration date,
to continue
beyond time,
to maintain an enduring presence,
to leave, as they say, a mark,
an imprint upon the world,
and to leave it indelibly
and indisputably,
in such a fashion that it will remain undisturbed,
like Neil Armstrong’s footprints on the moon,
with no winds to disturb them
alter them,
modify or erase them
for all time.
