What Do You Value?

Contributed by jacobmanning on Monday, 6th February 2006 @ 09:37:29 PM in AEST
Topic: FriendshipPoetry

What is the thing?
That you value the most
People or pleasure
Just what do you boast?

Money, possessions
Silver and coin
Making the dollar
The banks that you join

Maybe it's people
The young and the old
Funny and smart
And it's true to be told

How's your time spent?
The clock ticks away
Just what do you value?
I'm asking today

Hours and hours
Building your prize
Just what can you see
When you look with your eyes

People or things
Places or thoughts
What do you value?
Just what have you brought?

If you value money
It sure pays the bill
But what about balance
That gives us the thrill

Take time to smell
All the roses out there
Slow down and look
At the people who care

If you value people
Your friends will surround
Leaving as legend
When deep underground

You can't take the toys
That the money can buy
But friendships are lasting
We always can try

A world full of lonely
The hungry and sad
So soon would be lifted
Just give and be glad

A friendship is worth
So much more than a coin
I wish we'd unite
Even the greedy can join

Melt all the hurt
All the suffer and pain
Someone to pour
All the grief down the drain

Giving a smile
While saying hello
Is worth so much more
Than you'll ever know

Value the people
The laughter and touch
Hang up the put downs
Possessions and such

Schedule a lunch
A trip to the show
Let all the people see
"Love's what we know"

Turn off the noises
Clean up the minds
Look at the hearts
With our hands intertwined

That's what I value
Could you follow suit?
All joined together
There's no loneness to boot

My values are my Creator, my family and my friends. Money and material things are about the last on my list. They can't love you and make you feel special, or be with you through hard times and help you survive. People do that.

Smiles,
Rita
