“Elegy Before Death” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Here lies a humbling poem about how life will continue without us after we are gone and how we may be remembered- or not- once we have left the mortal realm. Our biological and social spheres do not require our presence to survive, and like all other things, we are only temporary part(s) of them.
