I always tried to teach my kids that whatever we do, good or bad, it becomes a part of our 'permanent record'. Even if no one ever knows about a secret sin or anonymous good deed, it will live forever in our memory. My inspiration for the poem came partly from this quote:
"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present." - Alice Morse Earle
