As always, I received the words to this poem non-stop in just minutes ...
Pay attention to what matters
Before all you value ends in tatters
Hear our voices
You all make choices
As the wind blows, the leaves it scatters
Blessed are ye
With a family
To have and to hold
To live with and grow old
The gift of loving company
But in your striving to do more
You sometimes close an open door
You fail to give the proper attention
The love that matters you fail to mention
And those denied are left keeping score
Your priorities must you organize
What matters most must you realize
Before what’s most valuable to you is lost
The love you’ve hidden you must defrost
For those you love are life’s greatest prize
Yes, a job is important, this is true
In your world the bills come due
But never ever take your sight
From those who love you day and night
Those who by love are linked to you
“Family first” is a popular phrase
See it clearly through the haze
For in the thirst to get ahead
Too many leave their love for dead
So set are the workers in their ways
Money and power your life it rules
In your toolbox, they are the tools
But what’s truly important never forget
Fill your future not with regret
Those you love are life’s greatest jewels

A gentle reminder from the Spirit World... "Family first" is an important motto. I love the ending phrase, "Those you love are life's greatest jewels." I refuse to live in regret, and I choose to live in love! My new mantra for today! :)
ReplyDeleteStructurally the soundest poem with an AABBA CCDDC EEFFE...Rhyme with consistent meter. The message is clear and one that has haunted me for some years, Do you work to live or Live to work. In my opinion this poem is from a single voice
