“...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the Pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.” - RJ Palacio


If the world were a snow globe
And I we were all snowflakes falling
Would it be a peaceful drift?
Or would it blow us slightly amiss?

 

If the world were beautiful,
But not in it’s land or it’s seas
Dangling our hearts over flame
Would we love it the same?

 

If the world were different
If it smiled and it cried
Would we feel what it felt?
Or slowly, just melt?

 

If the world is our reflection
Than what do we see?
You?
Or me?

 

If the world were a snow globe,
And we watched the snow fall
Would we see ourselves in those flakes?
Could we catch our mistakes?
