There’s something more valued
than dollars and cents…
humanity trumping pretend
Your mantra has been
that “winning’s enough”
losing yourself in the end
Each attempt to be clever
and self-aggrandize
takes you away from what’s real
The most treasured of things
to be loved and endeared
—your actions can’t borrow or steal

its rare, you present your poetic voice in such a direct and accessible manner
but then, reading the important message you're reaching-out with
I can identify with your purposed intentions
and laud, your tenacity of empathetic sincerity!!
simply brilliant Kurt, as always
Thanks LB.
Kurt,
āThe most treasured of things
to be loved and endeared
āyour actions canāt borrow or stealā
Your wordsā¦my treasures.
Words that will live on in perpetuity.
Our actions speak for us without saying a word.
I wish this could be faved ā¤ļømore than once. Words that will live on in perpetuity.
