What Matters Most

Folder: 
On Life and Living

Not the unimportant things,

nor trite feelings that we host.

But love, compassion, kindness,

that's what matters most.



Not the chains pulling us down,

like that of a captive ghost.

But the freedoms we enjoy,

that's what matters most.



Not the pompousness or arrogance,

of those who would constantly boast.

But the quiet pride and gentleness,

that's what matters most.



Not the single-mindness,

or the over-engrossed.

But the willingness to be open,

that's what matters most.
