What Matters Most

What Matters Most

I'm not in competition with anyone

I have no wish to play the game

I am just trying to be better

Than the person I was yesterday

If I can accomplish that goal

My life has been a great success

Fame and fortune are fleeting

What's important when your time is up

Is the kind of person you were

Not the amount in your bank account

But how many lives you affected

In a positive manner

How many people you made smile

With those silly bits of nonsense

Those moments are worth

All the wealth one can garner

In a whole entire lifetime

When that final day arrives

You'll be remembered for your humility

Your kindness and your positive nature

In a world that needs it oh so badly

No one is beyond reproach

But I sincerely hope I'll be remembered

As a caring loving person

Who enjoyed my life to the fullest

You turned my blood blue.
I opened up to you,
I didn’t want to.
