On Earth
If I had to leave here today
With only one thing
It would be the love I’ve found
In all living things
If I had to walk away
From my life as it lies
I would walk away fulfilled
With a heart that realized
Nothing is permanent here
It wasn’t meant to last
It’s not supposed to be forever
But it’s been a blast
I found love in abundance
I found light unforeseen
I’ve watched people come to life
With fairytale dreams
I watched people reach out
I watched them try their best
Keeping their eye on the path
Leaving God to do the rest
I have seen more in my years
Than I ever thought true
Who knew I had so much
Living to do
So if I left here today
I’d be thankful and then
I’d ask God
To send me back again
For the true measure of man
Is not found in his purse
But in hearts of those people
He loved here on earth
love is def what i would take as well…found myself nodding along as i read this…very nice..and nice truth in that last…
It all begins with love
Peace and Blessings
Our last words as ever should be I left things better for someone
And then our path would be complete
Peace unto you
“For the true measure of man
Is not found in his purse
But in hearts of those people
He loved here on earth”
So much truth and profoundness in this last stanza. Lovely
Thank you for visiting…your kind words are warming
Peace to you
Well, don’t be in a hurry because it seems to me you have much more love to spread in your life…and that’s all that matters in the end.
As we all do
Peace to you
