Things That Really Count

Today think how really rich you are, Your life is so precious; Though not few fall into the grave, Yours is there to live as virtuous. Don't forget them of great worth, Your family is so priceless; They are there to support you When things get worse in distress. Every minute and every second Of your time is as valuable as gold; Let it not be wasted at summertime, Use it before the weather gets cold. Look at the mirror and see for yourself The wonderful reflection of your health; Though thousands even millions get sick, Your strength projects another wealth. Salvation is the greatest treasure of all, For it is important beyond any amount; So I pray, may you always be rich In these things, that really count.

Beautiful sentiment. We do take people for granted sometimes, and have self pity.
