Death and Remembering

You remember Shakespeare.
But not who he wrote sonnet 57 about.

You remember Hamilton.
But not his son.

If we all die? Who will remember us?

You remember Abraham Lincoln.
But what about his mom?

We all die eventually but will we be remembered?
There are about 102 billion dead people. 
And 7 billion alive ones. 

That gives each alive person 14.5714285714 dead people to remember.

    but what of my friends
    and the decay of aging
