Lauren was inspired to write this poem after reading a religious book, which allowed her to contemplate where her values come from in life.
What is life but a vapor
A single bit of stardust
In an infinite galaxy
What are we but mere people
Making, changing, shifting
In an infinite galaxy
A lifespan defined
Documented, detailed, delimited
In an infinite galaxy
If forgotten, did it matter?
Making finite changes for a finite lifespan.
If remembered, did it matter?
A finite life dedicated to the infinite above.
