Measuring Life.

Goldfinch60



Never measure life by possessions,

Measure it by the hearts you touched,

The smiles you created and the love you shared.

For wealth may fade and treasures rust,

It's kindness and joy that truly last.

The warmth of a hand, a gentle word,

Are the richest gifts the world has heard.

Count the laughter softly sown,

The comfort given when one’s alone.

In each embrace and thoughtful deed,

Life’s real riches you will heed.

So let your legacy not be gold,

But memories bright and stories told.

Let your days be marked and spared

By the hearts you touched and the love you shared.
